> Certainly take the lithium if it seems to be working. Sometimes you can augment lithium with other meds so that high doses are not necessary. Sometimes high doses work very well.

Ive only taken the lithium for 4 days so I cant say yet. But lithium has a pretty good reputation for stabilizing BP.

What is a high dose?
Im taking 450mg at bedtime.
And half that in the morning (my idea)



> I personally would never turn down a benzo prescription. The general Ideas is that he probably wants you to take benzo's until the lithium starts to work properly.


I kind of figured this but he told me to stop the wellbutrin. I dont think I could function on just benzos and lithium. So I decided to continue WB despite his advice. And I did get the ativan.
