Linkadge,
I'll repeat the post I directed to you a couple days ago:
Can you reduce the lithium dosage enough to get rid of the cognitive impairment without losing the mood stabilizing efficacy?
What is your current Li dosage? (Answer = 1200 mg/day)
What is your current Li blood level?
What brand of Li are you taking?
-- Ron
P.S. 1200 mg/day is in the high dose range. Why do you take so much?
