I started at 300mg and worked my way up to 600mg over the course of a few weeks. After some experimentation, I discovered that, for me, 600mg is the minimum effective dose. I based my dosage choices on a study done at Harvard/Mass General and some lab experiments performed at the NIH. Using a little math, I figured that 0.3 mmol/L would make a good target. My blood level of lithium at 600mg is 0.31 mmol/L, which is exactly where I wanted it to be.

Anyway, that was my method for determining dosage targets.

So far, so good.
