i am on lithium..?


Question:
the doc put me on 1200mg of lithium and about 2 weeks ago h uppd me to 1800 mg. i know it can take 6 weeks to kick in,but since he upped it, can it take longer?

Answers:
I'm on lithium as well. What kind of things do you want to happen so that you know it has kicked in? I know the changes that lithium made with me happened slowly over a couple of months. Stick it out. Lithium did wonders for me. Good Luck.

Other Answers:
No, it should be the same amount of time from when you first took it.

I take only 900mg. and I know that if it works for me and my levels are right in my blood tests I should stay on it as is forever . If my illness starts to get out of control I will be tested and my meds. increased or decreased. It has taken me months to get to this point.
