OK, let us know Rani. The fact that
your dr. has you on two drugs, may
allow you to take a lower lithium dose;
i take the max. I have never taken
anything else, and to be truthful i do
not know what something else would be
like for me. The most devastating
cerebral event i had though came from
the relatively benign clonazepam, in
withdrawal mode. So, i am particularly
sceptical about the knowledge that drs.
have about drugs, esp. when they start
mixing them -- just bad experience for me,
oh yeah the thyroxine loading also put
me in thyrotoxicosis for a few months, and
the Xanax sucked up 10 years of my life
in benign med addiction. And the rivotril
and Xanax combo gave me breathing problems and
postural weirdness.So, that was just bad luck.
