The normal is 3 a day, or 900mg and that's what he takes. He takes them all at night, rather than spaced out over the day and he feels that works better from a convenience standpoint as well as effectiveness. I take 2. I think lithium potentiates whatever I take and anymore than that just didn't feel as good. There are other things in this formulation, like B6, folic acid, and the neuroactive form of B12 which act synergistically. You might feel a little buzzed at first, or 'activated' but it calms down quickly. It took both of us around 4-5 weeks to notice that it definitely was working, so you have to be patient. But then one day, you suddenly notice that things are seeming lighter and brighter in a way that's different than the lift from SSRIs.
Sorry about your great-uncle. It's always hard to lose a holder of the family history and lore, and the loss and sadness ripples throughout the family and community. Especially this time of year. I'm sure he's romping with Rock (and probably Merlin too since I get the feeling the two of them are buds on the other side).
