Depends on the kind of Molecule you are taking. Advising on dosing regimen without being aware of your serum lithium levels would be wrong. Please ask the doctor that has advised you lithium. Eventually when your serum lithium levels has reached therapeutic levels Psychiatrist will change it to once a day dose .
