I know all that. But once your doctor
has established a satisfatory dose for you,
the anything beyond that, is due to the
extra-therapeutic factors i mentioned.And btw, you can feel your dose going toxic,
as you can with other antidepressants and antipsychotics with extrapyramidic effects.
It's just that lithium is so well-publicized.
Other drugs can kill you from crossing the narrow therapeutic index too, e.g. imipramine's cardiac
toxicity effects, to mention one.Squiggles
