She started Lamictal shortly before she started Lithium. She just got up to 300mg. Since my older daughter has to take a high dose, the dr. thought it might take higher doses for this one too. And as you suggested, I told her last night that I think her psychosocial stressors - her beliefs about what she is supposed to be producing that she's not meeting - are interfering with her getting well. Thing is that we can talk about it, and she'll seem to get on board.. and I can almost feel her relief, but she forgets all about it when she's back at school and we start all over again with her believing that the symptoms she's experiencing mean that she's stupid.. which then makes her feel despair.
sigh.
We did Saphris last night.. but no lithium. I'll let you all know how it goes!
