To Spike4848 FROM Dave1

Posted by Dave1 on March 7, 2002, at 17:17:06

Hi,

I talked to you a couple of weeks ago about augmenting a tricyclic antidepressant with lithium.

I have been taking anafranil (250mg) for about a month. I added lithium (900mg) a couple of weeks ago. After I got a blood test my doctor up the lithium to 1200mg. After a day, I suddenly felt a change. I felt much more sociable and talkative, although my mood didn't change much. My doctor says I should stay at these drug levels, but I would like go higher. I've been on 1200mg of lithium for about a week, and am getting no further improvement.

What do you think based on your experiences?

Also, I'm getting some tremor, which you also said you got. Is that permanent if I stay on the drugs long term?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Bye,

Dave
