In reply to Re: Eighth anti-depressant and lithium... WHAT NEXT?, posted by loosmrbls on April 2, 2001, at 8:31:00
loosmrbls,
I am on 500mg of Lithium, but I'm not sure whether or not it is generic or slow-release (Name on the bottle says Lithicarb). My side effects from it are bad nausea and stomach pains and other little things.I went to the doctor the other day, and he's prescribed me Clomipramine (Anafranil) as my latest anti-depressant. He already has two more AD's lined up if it doesn't work (that's faith for you) and they are mirtazapine and serzone.
I've tried risperidone before (Bad bad side effects) and use Diazepam and temazapam occasionally.
I'm just sick of all these meds and side effects. I just hate feeling sick all of the time, on top of the things going on in my head.
I'm thinking of getting ECT treatments again, after my uni course finishes, but who knows if it will make much difference.
Anyway, thanks everyone for the help so far,
jane
