I take 600mg of lithium and although I may get slight drowsiness, I wouldn't say I get tired in the day. Drowsiness is a side effect of lithium, however.
You could try taking it at night, say 10pm each evening. I always take my dose at night - maybe that's why I don't get daytime tiredness, I don't know.
