Can Li and and SSRI cause this major wiredness. I was wide eyed last night and could not sleep, but for a few hours. I would feel my heart pounding in my chest and my body pulsing in my bed. And then I would wake from my light sleep and just get up...I darted out of bed a couple of times to adjust the window. I have no idea why.
I tried to dowse this agitation by bumping up my nuerontin and diazepam, but as I mentioned, I could not shut myself off. Can I be having too much serotonin? Aren't most people knocked out by Li? What is wrong with me that what ever I take now I am a live wire. I think i even have a little akathesia. I just can't sit still.
Sorry I have never ending questions. I really wasn't expecting this reaction from the Li. Could Celexa be too targeted an SSRI for me to augment with Li, like you alluded to Mitch? I can only tolerate 1.75 mgs without getting hypo and overenergized.
All thoughts greatly appreciated.
