Dudes and gals,
You won't believe this. I was on Lithium 5 weeks. In the last week my blood level finally hit .6. Well what do you know, my derealization slowly got much worse along with OCD.
I think it was Tuesday morning I was up at around 5am crying in fright and terror - that real fear in the gut feeling. Needless to say Lithium has been ceased. I now feel better.
Basically I believe I overloaded myself with 5-HT. This has happened before when I took two doses of Luvox then the next night derealization/anxiety much worse when I took Anafranil - it wasn't the Anafranil it was the Luvox and 5-HT overload.
A lot of people seem fine with it, but I'd say monitor your self carefully. As they say too much of anything can be a bad thing.
BTW, I've never heard of this happening before, so if you deem me a jackass for this warning please say so!
Ace,
Nardil, 60mg. (and going down)
