Thank you for your responses!
He has no symptoms of toxicity so far but I will try to watch more carefully.
He is somewhat aware of his symptoms and watches for diahrrea as a toxic sign. He is currently an hour away from home but is not cooperative with suggestions etc. I am trying my best to get him to see a doctor but his last visit was at an emerg where he was prescribed 2 mths of meds and he is trying to find a home etc. at this point.
Considering his absolute insistance on independence to the extreme and his relative instability, perhaps it would be best for him to be on a different med than Lithium? He may be ammenable to this. I have not seen a significant improvement with the Lithium.
Thanks again
Jade
