After talking with my therapist today she thinks I’m becoming manic. I started taking lithium a couple months ago and I take 600mg but lab work shows it’s still only at 0.4 in my bloodstream. I feel like my mania is getting worse since starting lithium not better and I’m still constantly irritable. I know I’m not in therapeutic range but if it were going to work for me, wouldn’t it be helping with these symptoms a little bit or is lithium different than other drugs and it only works when I’m in that “green zone” of a therapeutic range? I think they say 0.6 or 0.8 right?
