Sooshi,
I have had no side effects other then being constantly thirsty which is more of an inconvenience because of the many bathroom trips. Tomorrow, I go for my second blood level test and if need be, will probably increase lithium from 900mg to 1200mg, if blood level proves I have yet to reach the therapeutic dosage. I am crossing my fingers that lithium is the magic bullet of my cocktail that will give me depression relief throughout the day and night.Flipsactown
> Hi Flips,
