> Your reluctance to take lithium is understandable. It is a drug with a narrow therapeutic index (the range of dosages that helps without hurting). Some researchers think lithium should be used first. I think it depends on the type of bipolar disorder being treated. At 300 mg/day, I experience absolutely no tremors. The dosage is too low. I start getting tremors at 900 mg/day. I have taken as much as 1500 mg/day during a period of mania. It seems to me that most people using lithium as a mood stabilizer (prevents both mania and depression) end up at 1200 mg/day.
>Hi Scott
I have appointment with my pdoc tomorrow, I will tell him about Low Dose Lithium to improve my bipolar depression, do you take it at night?
What do you suggest me to talk with my pdoc regarding the Lithium?I have another concern, the Lithium will not help to combat my insomnia, it will remain uncovered.
Do you have any suggestions? Last night I took Seroquel 25mg and it helped me with sleep but caused me to have asthma.
