> Thank you for your reply. I will consider upping the lithium. As for the bipolar I vs. II, I never had a truly manic episode only hypomanic but lots of depressive episodes. The cymbalta, I think I recall being on 60mgs.
> I really have a problem with lethargy, weakness, cognitive problems, and often flu-like feelings in the afternoons. I always thought this was the lithium side effects or possibly the combo of lithium and prozac. What are "pstim", I am not familiar with this.
> I've had a whole hormonal workup as well, deficient in estrogen and progesterone. I am 39 yrs. old. Don't know how to treat this since the doctor I go to only suggested DHEA which I am taking.
> I am taking 2 grams fish oil....perhaps I should up to 4-6 as you say.
> Again, thanks for your suggestions. Everything helps..Stacey
