My other suggested add-on. What I read was a little scarey on wiki. Any use it as an AD add on, not so much for bi-polarity? any success, any warnings? Minimum useful dose?
thanks,

Only thing I know is that levels need to be drawn. I worked with a pdoc that thought I should peri-menopausally at the time mix a tiny bit in water and drink it for moods. Doesn't a lot of others take 300mg and some much higher? Love Phillipa

I take 1050mg Lithium to augment 60mg Nardil. Lithium works pretty quickly when I first started it. I noticed less anxiety at first and no I realize it helps with depression too. When I tried going off I felt bad. My Lithium levels at 900mg were .56, so increased dose to reach at least .6

Hi atypical, your name suggests that you are not treating BP. Less anxiety sounds good. Any side effects at that dose for you? I'm glad it's helping! Thanks,
