The addition of lithium to imipramine
is beginning to show very positive results:
-increased appetite
-calmness
-better mood
-better, longer sleepThis is after a week. It would be miraculous
if imipramine could be withdrawan altogether,
especially after a 20 year daily ingestion.
Especially, since that drug is hard and may
be the cause of the "pain after eating".
I believe that might merit a gastroenterology
look, after the gall bladder operation. As it
stands depression has been considered the cause
of it. Maybe the next appointment can clarify
this detail.But what a miraculous and yet tragic thing
it would be if lithium works, in the absence
of imipramine, and is the last drug to be tried
after a series of just about every drug in
the psychiatric pharmacological apothecary.Squiggles
