"Mouse would get lithium toxicity above 100mg a day."
http://www.crazymeds.org/lithium.htmlWas it that your blood serum levels were too high i.e. above 1.0-1.5 mmol/L, or that you experienced a toxic reaction to a much lower blood serum level? It is possible that you may have needed much less than what you were taking before, lower than the usual 300mg pill size. Perhaps you may only need 100mg for a therapeutic concentration.
You've talked about your battles with anorexia before so I was wondering perhaps if your small stature, or something else may be effecting your metabolism of lithium.
Just a thought...
