Hi Roslynn.

Yes. Thanks.

Luckily, the reaction was not so severe as to require a trip to the hospital.
> Also, what was your dose of lithium
300mg per day.

It is hard to tell. Lithium was helping a little, but not enough to justify its continuation in light of the hyperserotonergic state it produced. I had wanted to continue on lithium for its purported neurotrophic properties.
It's always something.
