> Wow. Did you split it to 150mg b.i.d.?
No, 300mg 1xday
> Hmmm. That's different, but it might make sense if one looks at lithium as being pro-serotonergic, which it seems to be. In fact, there are cases of serotonin-syndrome associated with the use of SRI drugs combined with lithium.Yes, when I told my p/doc he said "anythings possible, it doesn't matter what the cause, you felt it so we'll discontinue"?
> Frustrating. How are you feeling now? What else are you currently taking?
Somewhere around 75-85%
Zoloft - 100mg
Lamictal - 100mg
Zyprexa - 5mg
Clonazepam - 0.5 bid> Wouldn't that be a kick in the butt if, after having tried countless exotic treatments, it turns out that lithium ended up being the last key necessary to unlock the cage door?
Yes it would my friend! Good luck Scott!
