I'm on 600mg right now. I had my blood drawn on Friday and so I'll find out on Monday what the level is. I can let you know. I know it is supposed to be lower for MDD than BP.
I'm also on a lot of other meds (Lex, Desipramine, Neurontin, Dexedrine, Ambien) in an attempt to control my depression and anxiety. We are hoping that I can cut back on some of the others if the Li can keep me feeling okay for a while. Pdoc doesn't want to take things off that seem to be even a little helpful unless I am doing better. Depression is the pits.
Probably more info than you were seeking. ;) Are you thinking of trying Li?
Best,
EE
