Hey man...I know where you're coming from.
I had a doc at a hospital put me on depakote. Too much depakote. When I got blood levels, they were too high. New outpatient doc said reduce and use XR. Still felt terrible. Had to blood levels, so...
I took 2x the depakote for a couple days before the test. I don't think you can do that w/ lithium, though.
You may just have to find a way to tell your doc about your probs with lithium. Lithium isn't exactly the safest medication over the long haul, so...listen to your body first, your doc second (my advice).
Good luck!
