[QUOTE="totoro, post: 306506, member: 3155"] I know the levels do matter. But from what I have read and from what I read from boards on which people are actually taking Lithium.. they all say you should be seeing some positive affects within days, weeks at least within a month. You will not see stabilization until you reach the optimal blood level, but you should see some benefit. Not negative and not nothing. I am not talking about side affects like the tremors or inability to read. . I do agree about that some people react differently to generic vs. non. We did not try this. Her psychiatrist feels if she was just not reacting that well but having some positive maybe. But we are seeing nothing and negative since starting it. We are thinking Lamictal again because she did OK before on this, but was jacked up on other medications with it. And I do really well on it. We only took her off of it because we had no psychiatrist and we were frustrated and had no help. So when we found new psychiatrist we were starting fresh. Thanks you guys I am just frustrated all over again and tired. We just don't have any help and never have a day off. It gets so tiring. [/QUOTE]
