Added a low dose of Lithium 300mg to Lamictal that I have been on for years (200mg),and was able to cut effexor dose from 300mg to 150mg. Can't get over how I feel like my old self. I feel a sense of peace and normalcy. I forgot what it was like to feel whole again. Got my sex drive back, more intense orgasm. My husband is thrilled and a happy man!!! I have more energy and not sitting around as much. Enjoying cooking again. Got my recipe books out. The old me always loved to cook different dishes. I started to lose weight from decreasing Effexor too. The Lithium has no side effects at a lower dose. Many thanks to Maximus for the inspiration and advice. Who knows, maybe I can eventually lower Effexor even more, however may need to increase the Lithium. I will stay under Lithium blood level norms to avoid side effects. Just wanted to spread the good news, and hopefully this will help some of my fellow babbler's
