I'm at day six taking 900mg of Lithium. Every day the tiredness and lethargy seem to lift a little more. I still feel it some though its much better than when I started. I won't know my level until Tuesday when I get my blood work done. I'm hoping I won't have to go higher since right now I''m not experiencing too many side effects. I remember my first experience where I was started at something like 900-1000mg and I was a total mess. I had to take cogentin to stop the tremors. The cogentin was worse than the lithium and only make things worse. The side effects were horrible to say the least. I have a new pdoc now and she is very good so I trust her when it comes to my meds. she is very good about not over medicating me. So far going up slowly on the Lithium has worked well. I hope to continue to improve over the coming weeks  Well thats my update Hope everyone has a great weekend peace & hugs Rick peace & hugs
