McPac, I, too, am sensitive to Lithium as far as diarrhea goes. I take 900 mgs Lithobid which gives me a serum Li of .6 - .7 which is very effective in preventing depression or mania. If I miss a dose or two and then resume the regular dose I get diarrhea. Dehydration can cause this too. If you are sensitive I am not sure that changing your dose from day to day is the best course. Your body never gets stabilized.
