Hello - At the age of 50, I experienced my first (and hopefully only) manic episode during a period of intense stress in my work and family life.
I had been on Serzone for depression for about four years. I am now on Lithium which makes me feel dull and stupid and which is giving me hand tremors (1500 mg per day).
Is there a reduced likelihood of recurrence of a manic episode given my history of late onset in conjunction with Serzone? What role if any did the Serzone have in contributing to the development of the mania? Do the side effects of Lithium diminish over time?
Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.
