My blood level at 450mg Lithium was.4 and the doc wanted me to go higher to 600mg to try for blood level of .6.
I got really depressed when I moved over 450mg.
At 300mg I feel really calm and almost stoned.
I haven't tried adding 150mg to my current Geodon to see how that works.
All you can do is try what your doc suggests and see how it works. Lithium might be the right med for you or at least an add on med to something else.
