Hi SoDark,
How long ago did you get the blood work done? Usually it is every 3 months. It is not just about lithium levels but also kidney/ liver function- in terms of how well your body is dealing with processing the meds and keeping other toxins out of your body. Are you due for another test? I sometimes have to remind my doctor.
The side effects may be your body adjusting to the new dosage as well, so that may mean you need to contact your doctor with what is happening.
I hope that you can manage to get through your graduation tonight.
Your plan to go to the doctor on Monday is good, but at least have a family member/ friend aware of your symptoms- write a list etc and how long it has been happening in case you feel too ill before you see a doctor, so they can communicate on your behalf.
