I started at 600mg a day, after 18 months I went to 900 mg a day. Then 1200 mg a day and added verapamil, then 1500 mg, this is around 4 years later, then added to the verapamil. Last cluster last June I went to 480 mg verapamil dialy and 1800 mg lithium for 3 weeks to stop the terrible headaches. I liked lithium until I hit the mega dose (lithium blood levels twice a week to check for toxicity). I no longer take it, it is like speed, thank God I finally got my mind back.
