> The afternoon dosage so 600mg in one dose and 400mg lamotragine in combo with lithium. It has noticable antidepressant effects. My doctor is going to take me off lithium because we plan on going back to max dose of Prozac and she said you can't take lithium with max dose of Prozac. I'll miss lithium but it was a short time because I was severely depressed. I hope maybe I can stay on lithium but this is just a status update
That's an interesting judgment that your doctor made about combining Prozac with lithium. However, I would want to know what your doctor means by "high". 20 years ago, Harvard performed an experiment adding lithium to Prozac 60 mg/day. I don't recall a single report of a hyperserotonergic symptoms as a treatment-emergent event.
I am confused by your description.
What was the dosage of lithium you were taking when you felt best?
What exactly are the treatment-emergent events that your doctor is concerned about? The sweet-spot for me is 300 mg/day.
