Self medication DO NOT TRY

THIS IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE ONLY DO WHAT YOU AND YOUR DR AGREE TO!!!!

so I have had mental illness for over 20 years and have a lot of experience with what meds work and don’t due to being on most at one time or another. I was discharged from the hospital with 300mg of lithium twice a day. It worked well in the beginning but the team agreed it was a low dose. I won’t rehash everything but due to a night out (no substance use) I relapsed into mania. After I messaged my dr Sunday on mychart I was desperate and decided to take an extra lithium. I’m now taking 600 twice a day until I see my Dr. it’s a dose I’ve been in before and it’s working for me. I plan on adding back my invega injection which we discussed last session and tapering down my lithium back to 300 twice a day. Not saying this for you to imitate please don’t playing with lithium can literally kill you!!!!! Just sharing my experience
