> Yes, I have tried flooding myself and I do drink a lot of water everyday. But, even a short 15 minute jog screws me up and I havent' really lost much H20 with such a short workout. I know somebody that has experienced what I have and they have been on amitry. which is the mother drug of norty. But, this could be just a freakish thing for a minority of people. Do you have any problems with excercise? I don't think it is the lithium for me, but one never knows for sure. I am just going to get stable all around and then try something new in the fall or next spring. I might even try lifting lightly and see if I can get away with that.
> I would like to try trimp since the improved sleeping patterns it helps with are very attractive. I will have to wait until Monday to see what the doc says. But, there is no telling if it would allow me to work out any better either. I tried to switch to imip. but it made me jittery, kind of what you describe when you went to trimp. I do know my doc wants to get me on a good dose of another AD then taper the other. But, with TCA's the side effects kill me. Night sweating has been a recent problem so not sure what that means. Let me know how things go. Take care
> johnjJohn,
Fachad wrote a wonderful comparison of 3 TCA's in the above thread. Very informative. I would not rule out trimip if you taper properly. I think most of my troubles were withdrawal related. I wish I could give trimip another try, but I can't related to the DAntagonism. I hope you at least talk about it with your pdoc. Changing meds is hell, but staying on meds that limit your activity or lifestyle or happiness is hell too.Let us know how it goes with the pdoc. Hang in there.
