gal/Caleb,
I've let my lithium level get down to downright PUNY levels, something like .016 or thereabouts, by taking only 300 mg/day of lithium (and I'm a bigger guy).......I havn't been feeling very good at all in many ways....I was blaming everything on the AD when perhaps I should have been blaming the PUNY lithium dose and level......the thing is that I DON"T get manic or "high" when taking very little lithium, rather my AD just doesn't work much and I feel depressed, irritable, agitated, etc......I HAVE had problems w/ some AD's but this time I think that my PUNY lith. level is the real culprit....I've always only needed to take less lith. than most bipolars but this time I think I decreased it TOO much.
