I’ve been on lithium since Oct 2021- so about 9-10 months. No issues and I know all the risks with taking it. 

I got my levels checked every 3 months by my general practitioner and ever 6-8 weeks by my psychiatrist (I no longer have a psych because of a move and waitlists). Typically ranging from 0.60 to 0.72. 

I had Covid last week and got hit HARD. Vomiting, my taste buds turned all food vile, aches, fever etc. The whole 9 yards. 

My symptoms got better but I started feeling funny. Figured I call my doc to get my levels checked. Glad I did. Just got my results and I’m at 1.3. My kidney function has also decreased. 

I’m frustrated, but I guess now I wait and see what my doctor tells me to do 🙃
