Ok - It seemed as though I was gaining weight (about 8 lbs) when I was on 300mg of Lithium for 2 weeks. I wasn't exercising and was eating poorly - so this probably didn't help.
Doc switched me over to Geodon 40mg and back to the Adderall 10mg. Also Seroquel and Klonopin at night.
I am back to my irritable self. I miss my 300mg of Lithium.
Can you take Adderall with Lithium? Is 300mg of Lithium dangerous? I read all these things and am so confused. I just know that when I took it I wasn't irritable. The Adderall helps with motivation and slight depression. Plus, when I took the Lithium I didn't need the Seroquel at night to sleep. I could just take Klonopin.
Is Geodon safer than Lithium? Isn't 300mg of Lithium a tiny dose?
I was also trying to take 2000mg of Metformin a day, but it is making me exhausted. I think I have to drop back down to 1000mg a day of Metformin.
Any input on Lithium would help me. Will I get fat? Can I actually lose weight on it?
I am desperate not to be so mean.
