Hi Holly,
It sounds like your idea to lower the dosage to reduce side effects is a good one. I stayed on a way too high dose of lithium and never lowered it because it was below the "therapeutic dose". I think if I had lowered it I would have been better off. Look up some searches on google about subtherapeutic levels of depakote. I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to try a lower dose and if you think you need to go up then go back. From what I know med effectivenes is less if you go completely off.
Good luck
Sara
