Lithium 14 days and questions

Posted by JohnX2 on May 27, 2002, at 18:56:18

I seem to be doing OK on Lithobid 300 mg 2x day.
I missed a pdoc appt so I need to get in quickly
to screen blood levels etc (I know this is bad).
I've noticed a few things, maybe people can help:
- extreme thirst and dry mouth *only* at night.
- night wakenings to get water and urinate.
- substantial increase in sleep time (like 14+ hrs).
- *substantial* increase in lucid dreams
- no hypomanic episodes
- feel a little flat, but not bad after Serzone dosage drop
Note I am also taking Serzone, 150 mg Lamictal,
Klonopin.
I was thinking that the lithium was somehow potentiating
the serzone and causing the massive sleep and dreams.
So I slowly tapered the Serzone from 300 mg down to
100 and I have felt much better during the day.
It seems even at the very low dose of Serzone, I am
not experiencing myofacial pain which is a good sign.
I'm really hoping that Li cures my myofacial pain too.
This would open a lot of doors to augmentation strategies.
