In reply to LITHIUM - Take all at once? Help., posted by CindyLou on August 15, 2004, at 17:40:12
Hi:
In my knowledge, ... yes, some folks taking *All* psycho.med. just 'once' a day, ... before going to the bed. Some people doing this, even 4 different psycho. meds. before the bed in order to avoid any 'nasty' S.E. s from taking med. comb. However, for me, ... it's very 'scary,' whether I am *able* to 'wake-up' in normal/physical healthy state. I never did nor do those 'risky/acrobat' med. regimen.However, in your case, ... just 'Lithium' alone, then you could do this, ... all at once before going to the bed. That said, you may need your pdoc.'s permission before jumping into 'conclusion,' taking 1250 mg. before the bed. Because, if you're a med. sensitive individual, ... then it may NOT work this out.
I too, taking a 900 mg. Lithium divided three times a day. Some saying that Lithium has some 'toxicity,' for this reason we, Lithium takers need a lot of liquied to qunech thirst, and plus in order to 'wash-out' those toxicities.
I can not offer 'good' advice on this regard, even I've been on Lithium for more than five years.
