Lithium dose?

Posted by SheilaC on June 7, 2010, at 17:11:54

I talked to my doc about a mood stabilizer and she says Lithium is the way to go.
What is a good starting dose? How will it make me feel?
She suggested 300mg 2x a day? I see her again in another week and a half. It's probably better than living on Klonopin.
I was fearful of taking Lithium and dumped it after a few days last time I tried it. But I know I need a mood stabilizer.
Plus, I had to drop the Adderall for now - it was just adding fuel to the fire.
Any comments on how Lithium will make me feel? Relaxed? happy? less irritable? I've been so mean to my husband and I am so sick of trying everything under the sun.
