摘要
Nine patients with acute mania were treated with high-dose lithium therapy and daily blood level monitoring for the first 3 days of treatment. Rapid reduction in psychopathology was seen. It is possible that the delay of 7-10 days in clinical response to usual lithium treatment may be partially pharmacokinetic, and that high-dose lithium loading at the onset of treatment of mania may reduce the need for neuroleptic co-treatment.
