> Many people cannot tolerate the long term side effects of Lithium when it reaches therapeutic drug levels. There is new evidence that combining Lamictal and low dose of Lithium can enable those to reduce their AD's. This combinbation has a good AD response. I plan to persue this avenue.
>Hi Polarbear,
This is what i take: Lamictal + Lithium + Effexor. It works fantastic and i'm highly functional. I've been taking this combo for years now. I'm bp II, mainly depressed. Here, in Quebéc, Canada, it is know as the "premium" combo.
- Lamictal 150 mg
- Lithium 600 mg (0.4 level) Doesn't need to be high when used with Lamictal
- Effexor 150 mgGood day,
Eric
