I will keep the trimipramine as long as it hasn't worsened any of my depressive symptoms. And then, after a blood test that shows no abnormalities we will add lithium. See what happens.

Interestingly, he has also switched other patients from slow to instant release, as requested by the patient. Hmm.. wonder what's going on there? Perhaps the slow-release is better suited to people taking much larger doses?
