I don't remember what my serum level was. But I was on 50mg and 100mg both with the same effect - throwing up in more public places than I care to mention. I don't know if size has anything to do with it. How come I can tolerate 100 mg of Parnate? And I have always been on high dosages of the meds I do tolerate. But you do bring up a good point. I just don't think my body like lithium. It could also be that I wasn't drinking enough liquids.

It is possible that you may have needed much less than what you were taking before, lower than the usual 300mg pill size. Perhaps you may only need 100mg for a therapeutic concentration.
