Hi Anne,
>He is starting me on 300 mg. at bedtime x 4 days, then 600 mg. at bedtime x 4 days, then 300 mg. in the morning and 600 mg at bedtime x 5 days at which time I am supposed to get my blood tested.
In the treatment of depression, 600mg/day Li carbonate may often be adequate to 'augment' an antidepressant. Side effects are milder on low doses.
Regards,
Ed.
