Mitch,
You took half your ami in the morning? How long did it take you to adjust? I think I might like the calming effect during the day...Oh, I am finding I am much more amiable to food. I can't tell if I am just less depressed and intouch with my body, or if it's the med. Did you notice an appetite increase on the ami?
And gee, I hope I don't get "energized". But if it's without the anxiety I guess it would be ok. But I am so riddled with anxiety and angst at the moment, energized sounds awful!
I got a dew drop of lithium, 75 or so milligrams last night. I can't really tell, because the pill turned to dust when I tried to cut it into quarters. Why can't I just tolerate the whole damn thing??? But pdoc doesn't want to get my scalp all upset with a big slug of lithium. SO I think I probably took about 100 mgs HS, and I couldn't sleep very well. I forgot about how energizing lithium is initially for me. AND I think since it's regular release, it all got dumped into my system at once and really disrupted my sleep. I took todays lithium chip at lunch!
I am starting to blab a bit, but, I think I am going to switch brands and cut up the Eskilith CR pills into quarters. Those break evenly, and I can take 112.5 per day for a while and get a sustained release as well...It seems to make more sense to me to take a little higher, but consistant dose and get the controlled release. Any thoughts on this Li obsession of mine???
Take care,
Chloe

> Low-dose TCA's *are* underrated. I was on 10mg amitriptyline twice daily for about a year or so. It knocked me out big time for sleeping. After about three weeks or so I felt an energizing effect during the day without any anxiety which was nice. Get this.. it seemed to have the most *mood stabilizing* effects of any TCA that I have tried! The only reason I stopped taking it was because I had friends that liked my hypomanic personality and they complained that I wasn't as goofy and eccentric anymore.
