In reply to Once daily lithium?, posted by SLS on February 8, 2018, at 13:42:55
Hey SLS,
I take 300mg lithium once a day. My mother has taken 600-900mg once a day for 35 years with some mild signs of kidney impairment.
Lithium apparently accumulates in the brain. In the short term, steady blood levels may be required, but I think over time, it may not be as important (?).
Mind you, I am using it mainly for depression.
Interestingly, since starting, I rarely need additional medications.
I take 300m as well as omega-3 and, in general, am doing fine.
