Meds advice: Lithium + Nortriptyline

Posted by kiwi on April 13, 2000, at 23:41:31

Dear Med-heads,

(Please don't reply to my Email addr)

I'm taking:
1200mg Lithium
125mg Nortriptyline (aka Pamelor)
1.5mg Clonazepam

Without the Lithium I swing wildly from being very
depressed to being very agitated (and still depressed).
So, I think the Lithium is helping.

I feel a bit agitated at this level of
Nortriptyline, and a bit depressed at 100mg
Nortriptyline. I just can't find the right balance.

But I worry constantly about what these meds are
doing to my body: Nortriptyline causes increased
heart rate, Lithium is bad for the liver (and
gives me severe diarrhea about twice a week).
