> If you find out anything that counterindicates it's use with lithium, please let me know. The available studies out there contradict each each other on that subject. I do take lithium and about 10 grams inositol daily and I'd hate to think they're cancelling each other out. - Barbara
It can definitely be used with lithium. Both the STEP-BD study and Dr. Chengappa's study ("Inositol as an add-on treatment for bipolar depression") use it with lithium (among other mood stabilizers). I'm taking lithium 900 mg/day and Lamictal 250 mg/day, and the study calls for 12 grams/day of Inositol.
