I thought maybe it was just me. I had the exact same feelings as you, except on just 150mg. It was so uncomfortable I could not tolerate it and didn't even make it past 3 days. I had to stop.
I hadn't heard about glutamate action, though the feelings I had definitely felt like over-excitation of something. I got very loud hissing tinnitus from it too, so that didn't seem like a good thing to me.
You might want to hang in there and see if things adjust. I couldn't. Or maybe call the doc and have them call in a prescription for xanax to calm you down instantly to give the lithium some time. I tried reducing my dose to 75mg and that was still too much, so I just sighed and quit.
