Years ago, I think I might have taken 150. Not sure if it was XL or not.
This was before I knew I had Ad(h)d inattentive. It really worked because I remember going to work and thinking, 'everything seems so simple. Why did I ever think this was difficult?' It also calmed me down.
I think, well, for me and both Wellbutrin dexedrine, I tried different combos, like sustained release, regular release. I usually go for sustained release in just about everything because I feel more stable.
However, my docs would give me both for more control, say if I was really shot and needed to really perform. But myself, I reserved the quick release for emergency in both cases--or if I needed the boost and it was late in the day. (Dreaded insomnia!)
Good luck. Try not to fret if you tend to because you really just hit the jackpot with lithium. I'm glad for you.
