Thanks again for your response.

I am not BP II. I have treatment resistant depression. I am hoping to come off the Lithium. I am feeling that it is the Lithium that is causing these additional problems for me. Hand tremors and twitching, hair loss, but most of all a feeling of being 'dim'. My brain is not responsding to a lot of things the way it used to. Even to type takes about 10 times longer than it should (and I have been a school secretary for 30 years). In fact, I am supposed to be returning to work after being off for 2 years and I don't think it will go over big.

I have discussed these symptoms with my pdoc also telling him that I am getting stupid. He doesn't agree that the Lithium could be causing these problems but it's fairly new to me whereas the Parnate is not. I have been on it for over a year with none of these side effect happening.

You have given me a lot of information and I have printed it out. Again, it is taking a little longer for me than usual to let things sink in.

It sounds interesting to go to Alaska. I hope you enjoy even though it is a business trip.

Take care,

maryhelen
