FOLLOW UP WITH DR: The level is important so that you are in the range and also not above the range and toxic. The level of lithium has a lot to do with the fluid balance in your system. Discuss this with your doctor if you do not feel comfortable. The dose you are describing is not unusual. You have treat the symptoms and not the numbers.
