Do you think that by adding lithium it could bring me from OK to "well". What's a good starting dose and how long does it take for the Lithium to work?
I added 300 mg of Lithium to my 225 mg of Effexor because the effexor made me so tired I could barely funcion.
the first day I felt so energetic that I took a long walk.. but the upper effect pooped out.
I'm less sleep than I was, but the worst side effect is mental confusion, forgetfulness, and a severe problem with work recall.I have a pdoc appointment next week and if the side effects aren't better, I'm going to have to stop taking it... or lose my job.
PS. I posted this question a few weeks ago, and I received lots of positive responses... so it's really an individual reaction to Lithium.
but I really hope it works for you!
