My pdoc has been wanting me to try a low dose of lithium and I have been reluctant to try it. I became toxic on it a number of years ago and I not to thrilled with the idea of trying lithium again. From what I have been reading on the boards here, lamictal and lithium seem to be a good combo. Is that a low dose of lithium or a regular dose (in the therapeutic window)? My pdoc is talking about levels of .3 or .4. I am also taking topamax. I am not too thrilled about adding another mood stabilizer to the mix either. I am tired of cycling, lamictal and topamax barely hold me. Should I think about going off the topamax and add lithium, or add lithium to the mix? Maybe stay where I am because I got toxic? My pdoc is pretty open and listens to me and we discuss things, so I research them out. Anyone have thoughts on this? I appreciate any comments.
