Yes. We’ve discussed this before. SGLT2IS decrease lithium by 50%.

Thanks for confirming.

Is your personal goal to get an effective 20mg per week?

To the best of your knowledge, is it harmless enough that I don’t need to deep dive and I could just take 5mg? (I realize I should do my own research, but if you all have already done it, I trust the group more than my own research!)

I take 5-10 mg a day because I’m losing 50% to the SGLT2I.

Since about a month I take 10 mg lithiumorotate every evening.

I say “around 20mg per week”. I am sure 1mg per day is enough. I would think 5mg per day is too much.

It is likely to vary from person to person, but I don’t think we can be that precise as to exactly what it should be. We don’t as yet have enough information.

Thanks for that feedback on the 5mg, especially since I’m on the smaller side.

Do you think I should consider 2mg only because I’m taking an sglt2 and therefore only getting an effective dose of .5mg?

Its hard to say. I don’t think it would cause a problem if you took 2mg.
