hi. i seen my new doctor. and she seems actually quite informed and the best doctor i think i had yet compared to those goons back at the hospital who hardly knew anything except information regarding just a few select medications. well there's our canadian health care system for you. but anyway she is a good doctor i think from what i can tell in my first visit. she said i was treatment resistant. this was something other doctors couldn't believe. no no no i just had to respond to all the meds they gave me! some of them treated me as some kind of liar.anyway she suggested i stay on paxil 20mg along with the ativan. but later on she plans to augment it with lithium and also increase to 40mg if no response is had (if i get a response it will be a miracle).
can you guys tell me how this combo helps? how does lithium help the paxil (ssri's)? what happens? please give me info and experiences.
i have never tried lithium yet.
