Hi John,
I forgot to mention that, for me at least, my lithium level is very much affected by things like hydration, food intake, and changes in weight. I know it's common knowledge that you shouldn't get dehydrated or go on a low-salt diet, but I just wanted to suggest that what might be a therapeutic level at one testing might be higher or lower depending on your habits. I'm glad the change up to 750mg is working better for you. I hope your mood and anxiety improve soon and that you find the dose that will make it happen.
CB
