I have been on lithium for years. my levels have steadily been increasing. I am at the high end of normal with my lithium level. It was 1.1 when 1.2 was considered high. would I be crazy for wanting to switch off lithium so I don't experience lithium toxicity? I was warned by my doctor of the signs of it at our follow up appointment. do I risk the bad episodes while switching to a new med? I'm so worried about this messing up my life if I start having mood swings again.
