@longboat1 You might want to consider getting your LO's lithium level tested. You can do it without a doc's orders (at least in Texas) at Quest and presumably LabCorp; it's not expensive. It was learning that my husband's level was so low that prompted us (with guidance from his internist son) to increase to 20 mg.

Carol has a series of tests coming up prior to an Oct appt with her neurologist. We'll definitely request one for lithium. The neurologist does not know yet that she's been taking LiO.
