Will do. I should also mention that I'm on a pretty serious nutritional regimen to address my fibromyalgia as well as to balance my tweaky brain and I think it's helping. I'm looking at the lithium as a brain nutrient (nerve growth factor enhancer) and the klonopin the same way. Nice and smoothing and building up that lovely grey matter, as well as taking cellular immune boosting nutrients that will tackle this illness on all fronts. -- Barbara

I've been on most SSRI's as well as buproprion, and most recently on Remeron which pooped after 3 months of excellent response and spiraled into a major suicidal depression. Am now on 300 mg. of lithium and 7.5mg on Remeron and titrating off completely. I felt immediate help on the lithium and better with each dosage decrease of Remeron. The real proof will be how I'm doing when the Remeron is completely out of my system. This may be an augmentation response for the Remeron, but I don't think so.
