My lithium level was 1.4 is this ok?

Probably ok: This level is probably ok. It is a little higher than "norma", but normal is whatever you should have, to treat your symptoms, without causing side effects. It is nothing to worry about, at least. The level is dependent on your lithium dose and your other medicines.

Little high: It's just a little higher than the upper range of normal of about 1.2, depending on thelaboratory.If you are having any new symptoms like increased tremor in your extremities,slightly slurred speech,increased fatigue,or new nausea/vomiting/diarrhea,you need to talk to your prescribing or primary care doctor right away,or if they are not available and you are having significant symptoms-go to ER.
