Are blood tests indicating any issues with your kidneys? Many patients can take lithium long term without any serious kidney issues.
What are your blood levels of lithium? Have they changed?
There is some evidence that once daily dosing is a bit easier on the kidneys, so it might be worth considering. If there is any kidney impairment, this may lead to higher lithium levels allowing for a lower dose.
If your kidneys are fine and your blood levels are fine I see no reason why to make any adjustments.
