Lithium dose test
I take 550 lithium at 1 pm and 150 at 9pm. Can i take lithium levels test at 9am next day. Would the timing work as it is 12 hours from last dose

Hi, lithium levels are generally checked about 12 hours after the last dose, but the exact timing depends on your prescribed dosing schedule and your psychiatrist’s instructions. Please confirm with your prescribing doctor or laboratory before the test, and don’t change your medication timing on your own.
