I have been on 800mg of Lithium plus 150mg of Effexor, for the past six months (after a time of six weeks in hospital) -- for the past few weeks I have been very down, which I first thought was just my period, but it got worse and I still feel very down and sad. My husband took me back to see my psychiatrist and he has now changed my medication. I now am to take double the amount of Lithium (1600mg) plus a different medicine called "Stablon" - 12.5mg three times a day. I am concerned about just making a sudden change from the Effexor. The reason I am worried is that a couple of times I forgot Effexor and felt quite strange (shakey and dizzy). Does anyone have some advice?
