In reply to therapeutic sleep deprivation with lithium, posted by rovers95 on June 28, 2019, at 8:29:54
> Anyone tried sleep deprivation as a therapy? Apparently lithium (and other agents) can improve response and prevent relapse after recovery sleep.
>No, I wouldn't do that. Personally, lithium has caused some major depressive rebound with me, and I have had to lower it's dose (lithium) and crank up the antidepressant and anti-anxiety meds dose. I have done a bit of research on disassociation and lithium, as that seems to be what I have experienced when my lithium dose went to 900 mg per day. It is like this huge wad of dysphoric derealization just side swapped me in the head. Anyhow...just my thoughts....
