I'm suprised they started you off straight away on a high dose, my doctor was very strict about starting off on a low dose and gradually buidling the amount of lithium in my system up, for a variety of reasons. I now take 800mg, but I started at 200 ad worked up in 200 increments from there.
Maybe speak to your doctor about taking it more steadily? Lithium is very toxic and your body needs time to adapt.
