[QUOTE="Steely, post: 427575, member: 3301"] It takes Lithium weeks to get to the right equilibrium within the body, so give it some time. in my opinion 600mg is a lot to start him out on, you might talk to the DR about titrating up a bit slower. I would also talk to him or the new psychiatrist about the 3 mood heightening medications he is on - Zoloft, Daytrana, and Concerta. If he really is mood liable, these 3 medications can increase agitation and increase hyperactivity and impulsiveness. Has he had testing and been diagnosed with a specific Mood Disorder? [/QUOTE]
