Just curious, are you taking 150 mg 2 times a day or just taking 300mg upon waking? I would try to get Lithobid, especially if you are just taking the 300 mg dose in the morning, which I believe it sounds like you will be doing. Lithobid can not only lengthen the effects of lithium, but it may also reduce any side effects due to the slower extended release.
