Hello,
I'm on 900 mg of lithium, and had my blood tested recently at 1.08. My psychiatrist says he likes it at about .8, but I do so well on lithium that this is fine and we will just continue to monitor my blood every month or so. So my questions are:
•if I drink more water, will this bring the numbers down?
•if the answer is yes, would that mean if I drank caffeine, would that bring the numbers up?
•Why do I have to be tested every month? It just seems so random. Why not go in every 4 days for 3 weeks?
Thanks, Janice
I always have so many questions, and they always seem to come to me when I leave his office.
