Yea, in the morning after I take my 300mg of Lithium. That is my one and only daily dose.
I tend to get the opposite effect from most drugs -weird. So I think Lithium is acting like an antidepressant for me, which is great. But for antidepressant purposes, I could probably drop down to 150mg for depression and rely on the Geodon for my agitation?
I'm going to check with my doc and see what she thinks. Most docs don't believe that I can get by on such small doses and that I have the meds can give me the opposite effect.
Maybe my 40mg of Geodon and 150mg of Lithium in the morning would be better.
I don't know. I know I couldn't tolerate 450mg of Lithium. I started having terrible, painful legs cramps, so I had to drop back to 300mg.
