I take an average of 450 mg lithium. I was prescribed 600 mg (2 300 mg capsules), but at that dose I would get this internal shaking sensation that was intolerable. It felt somewhat like low blood sugar shakes. I think it might be related in some way to dehydration or electrolyte problems. So now I take two capsules one night (600 mg) and one the next (300 mg) alternating. That is odd I know, but it seems to do it.

I don't know that I've had kidney labs done. I tend to get the basics every year, including liver function. I think maybe that BUN and creatin are included. I'm due again late summer, so I'll keep an eye on that. I also have had lithium levels drawn once. Since I'm on a pretty low dose, my pdoc doesn't think I need to have them all that often, probably every six months.
