Cindy I fully belive that lithium can work that fast, it did for me. I first started at 300mg and it just seemed like it made the paxil I take work again. Then my body got kind of use to it and I uped it to 600mg. It just keeps working better the higher I go with it. I now take 1200mg and that gives me a serum level of .6meq/l. Each time you increase you will get the side effects back but they eventually go away. Stick with it. In my opinion if you react to it that fast, its a good sign you are a true bipolar. I have also been very sensitive to medication too.
