I saw my doctor today. Of course, he was encouraged that I have received some benefit from lithium 600mg. I told him that I would want to reduce the dosage to 450mg to get rid of that "washed-out" feeling and the tremors. Before doing anything, I am going to get a lithium blood level so that we can see where things are at. Afterwards, I am planning on going down to 450mg to see if the mild benefit I get from 600mg is retained while mitigating the washed-out feeling and tremors.
I retain the hope that I will reach remission with lithium. It just might happen more gradually than I would have liked.
