Tim -
I have been on a regimen of Lithium (1200 mgs day) for years now - my doctor is trying to taper it off a bit because of the unfortunate lasting effects it can bring. I am now down to 600 mgs, combined with Verelan and Clonazepam and Neurontin, and seem to be doing pretty well. DO you know why it is dangerous to take mass quantities of lithium? I don't - I just know they want me to be on as little as possible.
Best wishes for so many pain-free nights you actually lose track,
Katie
