> I won't go off the prozac, that's for sure, but I'm thinking of tapering off the lithium. If I ask my doctor, I wonder if he'll say no considering how depressed I've been in the last months. Maybe he won't want to take any chances changing anything. I don't want to take any chances either, but I don't like these side-effects.
If it ain't broke...
Perhaps it would be worth trying to substitute Lamictal for the lithium. I would first start off by adding the Lamictal. When you reach 150-200mg, then you can begin to perform your experimental taper of lithium.
