This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
it really goes by your lith. level in your blood. Everybody is different. Ask doc what your level is.
You feel like you're drunk. You stagger all over the place, can't be reasoned with, and slur your words. THAT is TOO much! I went for a walk and got pulled over by a cop. He charged me with being drunk in a public place. I had lithium toxicity. I "think" I took 1400 mg in about a 2 hour period. I couldn't remember when I took my last dose... so, I took another!
MAKE SURE YOU TAKE THEM AT A SCHEDULED TIME!
After I got arrested... and they realized I wasn't drunk... I was transferred to the psyche ward, where I spent a week getting everything under control.
If you miss a dose... don't "double them up".
That's about all the advice I can give ya!
Sorry!
