Hi Brian!
>The lithium isn't so much to increase the effectiveness of Parnate as it is to prevent poopout... more as a prophylactic.
If you do decide to add lithium, I'd definitely suggest a very low dose eg. plasma conc 0.3-0.4. High doses are more useful as a treatment for mania and tend to be unpleasant.
>My sister may most possibly be bipolar 1 as well. She hasn't been diagnosed as so... so far she's been diagnosed with some schizoaffective disorder.
Probably schizoaffective disorder, bipolar sub-type.
>I've been called a Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde by my current girlfriend. :)
Why does she call you that? I bet you aren't as irritable as me!
Good luck,
Ed.
