Hi Chloe,
Yes, I have tried flooding myself and I do drink a lot of water everyday. But, even a short 15 minute jog screws me up and I havent' really lost much H20 with such a short workout. I know somebody that has experienced what I have and they have been on amitry. which is the mother drug of norty. But, this could be just a freakish thing for a minority of people. Do you have any problems with excercise? I don't think it is the lithium for me, but one never knows for sure. I am just going to get stable all around and then try something new in the fall or next spring. I might even try lifting lightly and see if I can get away with that.
I would like to try trimp since the improved sleeping patterns it helps with are very attractive. I will have to wait until Monday to see what the doc says. But, there is no telling if it would allow me to work out any better either. I tried to switch to imip. but it made me jittery, kind of what you describe when you went to trimp. I do know my doc wants to get me on a good dose of another AD then taper the other. But, with TCA's the side effects kill me. Night sweating has been a recent problem so not sure what that means. Let me know how things go. Take care
