Lithium - Blood levels/dose, need advice NOW!

Posted by ace on March 25, 2003, at 21:16:49

My first blood plasma test for lithium came up at 0.2 - not a very therapeutic level. I was on Lithium three days preceding this test - 2 days at 250mg and 1 day at 500mg.
Went to Dr.'s today. Got another test. Results in Friday. Before todays test I was at 500mg for 5 days. We both agreed to up the dose to 750mg. I really wouldn't want to go higher. Do you think this will bring me up to 0.6 or higher blood levels?
Any other comments please?
Ace.
