[QUOTE="klmno, post: 114713, member: 3699"] MM- difficult child has blood draws but not regularly- just when a dosage goes up. I'm not sure the exact amount of the lithium carbonate but at 900 mg/day he had barely crossed the therapuetic threshold, then he went up to 1200 and was getting toward the higher end of the range. He was sick the whole time he was on that dosage so psychiatrist changed him to lithobid and put him back down to 900 mg/day. He's on 500 mg of depakote a day. psychiatrist said typical therapeutic range for blood level was between 50 and 100 (or .5 and 1.0) and difficult child's is at 69 (or .69). Smallworld, you've been a big help several times, thanks! Do either of you have a medication you'd recommend that I asked psychiatrist about? We go back Jan 30 or 31. [/QUOTE]
