Doc has me on 300mg Trileptal 2x a day and Restoril for sleep. She also has me on 300mg lithium. She wanted me to take lithium at night but it kept me up all night peeing so I switched it to morning. Problem is the 300mg of lithium is making me hyper, a little angry and irritable. It does seem to get rid of the depression, but it seems aggravating to my mood.
Also, I'm not crazy about the bloating and the munchies.
The Trileptal is great. But I don't know if that is enough for the depression.
I'm extra sensitive to meds. Should I cut down to 150mg of lithium?
Why would it be making me hyper and irritable?
