I am having a problem with Lithium level becoming toxic despite lowering dosage. This started after having COVID with pneumonia. I'm thinking about weaning off of it though mentally it really has helped. I wanted to know if anyone else experienced this (or something similar) and what they did

Lithium

Lithium carbonate

Be really careful coming off. There is a fb group about Lithium tapering that might be helpful to you.

I take 1800mg at night and am at normal levels. Definitely let your psychiatrist know

I'm so sorry you're experiencing this :( I have always had low lithium levels for some reason. I'm currently taking 300mg in the morning and 450 in the evening. Do you have an idea of a different medication that you would use in place of lithium?
