thats a lot of lithium
but my psych doc just says it takes different amounts for each person to get them in the 'therapeutic range'.
i was on 800mg and i got a bad tremor, reduced to 700mg, and i coping ok now. but only just in the 'therapeutic range' now. also, even though it's low dose, i'm still extremely sluggish, and huge appetite, so very fat.
i'm on prozac 40mg too. that needed to give me bit of energy.
the meds are so hard to deal with, i've come off meds so often, and then relapsed badly each time. i do wonder what my life may have been like, if i'd never started on lithium, 10 years ago. but it's pointless wondering, it is as it is. right now, i'm going to persevere for a long time, maybe years, because it's so very hard to get off of meds, and my kids are still young, and it's just so awful for them when i get so ill.
i hope you feel better soon. the 'fog' is horrible, but it is better than 'murdering someone'
