In reply to How much lithium do you take w/Parnate?, posted by Dyane Harwood on November 18, 2013, at 15:31:57
I take 900 mg Lithium with Nardil and previous to that took 900 with Marplan, so both MAO's. I have been concerned that 900 is too much myself as I have unipolar depression and I'm afraid it will make me too "flat" and uninterested in life
and I don't show signs of bipolar but my pdoc feels it keeps my moods from becoming too unstable so we keep it at 900. I'm not sure that is the right thing to do. It really all is a chemical experiment anyway, isn't it? I've been on meds for more than 20 years so I know how inexact this process is. The docs don't really know what theyre doing. I've lost so much life to this disease it isn't funny, it's very frustrating and painful to never know if I will beat this illness. After this long I don't think I will.
