You're not at the optimal dose yet, so give it time. Usual doses are 200-450mg, so there's plenty of room to play with. They have to raise the dose slowly in the beginning in case you get the dangerous side effects. I was in hospital going up slowly on Lithium like this not so long ago, so I know how frustrating it can be. Just give it more time until you get to at least 200mg and have been there for four weeks. In your case, because you're a young man, you may need the full 450mg dose. It can be raised as high as 900mg for people that need it.
