In reply to lithium can make you manic, posted by linkadge on September 13, 2003, at 14:58:31
Hi Linkadge--
Thanks so much for your post. It's weird, b/c I immediately became manicky and mentally confused. (basically, running around like a chicken w/ my head cut off). Now I just feel like I have the personality of a rock.
I'm BPII--I can't take AD's alone, or I get mixed/manic. My doc was not too pleased about the manic reaction and/or the teeth clenching. He wanted to switch me right away to something else (zyprexa, trileptal, depakote) to combat the recent turbulence.
I'm really confused as to what to do.
Thanks,
katy> I am less manic on Celexa alone, than I am with Celexa and lithium. Lithium is a very selfish drug in my oppinion, it doesn't mix well with other drugs. Lithium can enhance the serotogenic effect of many antidepressants, (not sure about lamictal)
