Are you in school, or at the workplace,
take it as soon as the need for clear though is over. For me, I worked hard to finish all homework by 7:00, then I took it right then.
I felt somewhat inhibited till about noon, then my brain power seemed to increase, above regular baseline.
I thought it like this, lithium literally permiates the whole brain, and it some respects its like relearning everything. Things you do without thinking, now you have to think about.
But it forces you to know everything for real.
Cognition is generally much improved after a month or so on the drug. It takes this long for it to fatten up your brain cells, and to ballence glutaminergic function. Excercise will really boos the neurogenesis power of lithium.
Good Luck
