Usual dose amount for Lithium augmentation?

Posted by SteelyDan on April 17, 2008, at 11:36:28

Just curious, what is a common dose amount used when Lithium is added as an augmentation agent?

I used 300 mg twice a day for my AD a few years back.

Hi Dan.

As an augmenter to antidepressants to treat unipolar depression, 300-600mg seems to be the therapeutic range.

Thanks Scott. I'm on 300mgs. as an augmenter for unipolar depression. I was on 600 for awhile but it caused severe hand tremors. Much improved since reducing to 300mgs.
