In reply to Lithium added to AD (Nardil), posted by ShelliR on August 14, 2002, at 22:36:48
> Am thinking of adding lithium to nardil. Has anyone had success by adding lithium to an ad for major depression, not Bipolar? Good effects, problems, whatever? This two year poop out of nardil is pulling me down further than I can tolerate for much longer.
I take Parnate (an MAOI) and was taking Lithium as the augmenting drug. I read that it is fairly successful as an augmentor and you don't need very high doses so usually you won't need to get the liver tests. I did fine on it but stopped because it does effect acne. I've had a terrible reaction from the Parnate and didn't want to aggravate my acne any more.
I switched to Lamictal but I'm still ramping up to a regular dose. I would recommend trying Lithium.
