Shower thought: Most meds are taken every day

Posted by Petermartin on October 25, 2021, at 3:35:50

I was thinking that when you're out on a medication it's always X dose per day. Even though the half lives and effects vary, we almost always take a pill 7 days a week.

What if it's be more effective to take a drug every 3 days? Or the minute you start feeling it wearing off (excluding PRN medications).

I was thinking about this as I took a one off 150mg capsule if Lithium yesterday. I think it helped even me out, and if felt good to have -some- Lithium in my system. I've taken it daily even at small dosages like 150mg, but I've always wanted to stop. I know it's a beneficial trace mineral for the brain, so in that sense I like to have some in my body.....I just don't know if I do well taking it daily. Maybe twice a week, or only one a week.....
