Unless you live outside the US it won't help you much--I'm taking Amisulpride, dosing average 150 mg., depending on mood.
Funny thing is, I think it is better for me than lithium--I was getting assorted SEs that were making life harder than it needs be (like fibromyalgia. I am not aching anymore all over and that's gotta be better. But I'm not typical--I am very med sensitive. I was on a low dose of lithium too--mostly 400-600 mg.
No thyroxine, but my thyroid was starting to goiter and who knows--and the weight.......and thyroid disorder runs like a mad athlete in my family. Saying that, lithium also saved my life I think, at one point anyway for a year or so. Before I started baaaaad SEs.
