How is Lithium added to an MAOI?

Posted by Caedmon on June 4, 2006, at 21:24:21

Anyone know? I know there is some risk of serotonin syndrome. I can't imagine it's done the same way as with an SSRI or TCA, or is it?
Does a doctor go slower in intiating and increasing the dose to determine Li levels? Is a lower level utilized than what would be used with other antidepressants? (i.e. less than .6 mmol/L or whatever?) Should levels be checked more often? Or is lithium generally regarded as innocent enough to just use the regular guidelines? Does Li toxicity carry any increased danger?
Just curious.
