SSRI's interacting with Lithium

Posted by lizbeth on February 1, 2005, at 18:59:42

Hi,
Has anyone else had problems adding SSRI's to a stable Lithium dose/regimen? There's been research to confirm that Prozac and Lithium interact. I've definitely had interactions with the two of them together, and also with Lexapro and Zoloft. It's not just like they elevate my lithium level. I know the GI upset and sedation that comes with a higher level of Lithium. What I get when I add an SSRI is hard to describe but very unpleasant. It feels like I'm walking through knee high mud mentally. I become a slug, and feel sick too. I don't think it's the serotonin syndrome per se, but I can feel messy interactions happening in my brain.
Anyone else experienced this?
Thanks,
Elizabeth
