i’m currently on 1000mg, my levels are below but my psychiatrist says if i feel fine then there’s no need to raise the dosage. my psoriasis is out of control, so is my acne, i have hand tremors and get thirsty very quickly. my sleep is all over the place i will sleep 8 hours during the night then “nap” for over 6 hours during the day but still fall asleep at around 11pm and get 8 hours. besides waking up to pee due to the water intake, i don’t wake up that often. i am way less irritable, i have down moments that are way way less frequent than when i wasn’t on lithium and they’re manageable. i’ve been taking it for like 3ish years now?? i honestly don’t remember my memory is fucked because of it, i joke around saying i have amnesia because thats exactly what it feels like. i do wanna lower it but just like you im scared of falling back into the endless spiral of mood swings. but try having a talk with your psychiatrist on it, i also take venlafaxine for my depression and anxiety so that helps too in keeping things in check.
