Saw my doc today. At 450mg of Lithium my level is at .4. She thinks my level needs to be around .6 or at least .5 so she is having me up to 600mg.
She also said it's easier on the kidneys if you take it all at one time.
The 75mg of Wellbutrin is helping my depression, but it makes me fall asleep within 2 hours so she said to take it at night. She wouldn't increase it because she said it would still probably make me sleepy at a higher dose.
I told her I miss my small dose of Adderall and she said to go ahead and take it in the morning.
I thought she would have dropped the Adderall and upped the Wellbutrin - but no. Oh well.
Is 600mg of lithium going to make me fat or have bad side effects on my kidneys? Will it help with depression more at that dose?
