Have you told your doc about this? Is it prescribed to you or are you playing doctor? It sounds like you are. Six months is a long time to be on a med that is not working. Why haven't you said something before? As you may know--if you've been seeing a doc--the "window" of efficiency for lithium is very narrow, that's why a lithium blood level (LBL) should be taken regularly. Everyone is different; I function just fine on 800 mgs. a day, and am a full-grown, 180 lb. male. Talk to your doc.

Yes, I'm on 1500 mg daily. It is good and cheap and does work.
Talk to your doctor about doing more blood work and recheck your lithium levels.
