That is correct and it does not seem to help? For how long have you been on Li?

If you're not bipolar, there is no need to taper it off.
You could try a lower dose to see if that helps, see 900 mg.
If it does not work after 3 weeks, i would find another strategy. Look at your *worst* residual symptom (anxiety?, fatigue? mood?) and try to address it first.
