I am on 300 mg of Lithium at night and I am supposed to take another 300 mg in the am. I am by mid-afternoon having problems with a headache and I feel like I am watching myself in slow motion. I feel "spaced out". I also feel faint. Has anyone had this experience? Value input.

Mp29,
You might need to have your lithium levels checked. How long have you been taking it? Also, there are a lot of foods and things that can't alter your lithium effects...pay close attention to those (increases lithium effects or toxicity-nettle, parsley, and dandelion; decreases lithium effects-coffee, black tea, green tea, COLA). Sodium can also wreak havoc on litium. You probably should just make it a point to inform your doctor of the way it's making you feel, especially if you just started taking it. Good luck. l
