SLS, I saw you mention in a previous thread that you knew cases where low dose lithium worked once, but once it was stopped, was not likely to work again.
I am in UK, where we have so much less choice than you do. Parnate worked brilliantly for me but stopped working 4 years ago after I reduced it. I am still on it and probably flogging a dead horse, but having difficulty coming off it and if I do come off it, will never get it prescribed again here in UK so desperatedly trying to augment it. Recently added 150 mg lithium which magically made it work again, but it only lasted 2 months. And raising the lithium made no difference.
Is it likely that the lithium might not work again ? I cannot find again the post where you mentioned this.
This post hopefully will make sense. I am suicidal and shaking with anxiety. I do not have the choices you have as im stuck with free medicine in UK.
They have offered me a choice of lithium, sodium valporate or pregabalin.
