Tom,
What kind of lithium were you taking? Chloe has alot of great experience in this area and I'm convinced that different formulations have different effects. I've been taking generic Lithonate, or plain old lithium carbonate since February. It has been a miracle and I bless the periodic table every day. In fact, I recently ran out and was without for 10 days and boy oh boy, was I glad to get back on. I'm on 600 mg. along with Remeron 70 mg. Even though my blood levels are lower than the therapeutic range I don't want to raise my dosage since it seems to be doing the trick for me. However, I have to stress that for me I also need the Remeron for the awful depressions. One does not work without the other. I also take 2 grains of Armour thyroid for hypothyroidism which was present before starting lithium. I sure hope it works for you. Barbara
