In reply to Is lithium any good?, posted by Don_Bristol on April 28, 2006, at 19:53:08
Hey! Well, I didn't realise you lived in the UK! I'm guessing Bristol?? I used to live there, and I pretty much liked it. Anyway, thats great that your doc has got you on parnate, well, apparently its difficult to get MAOIs from British pdocs.
Please just be aware of the hypertensive thing and casulty departments. I read from a UK poster (I can't remember his name now) that he had a hypertensive reaction and went to casulty - the docs there didn't understand and tried to give him a shot for serontin syndrome and not the antidote nif(something - I can't remember!) to bring the BP down. He refused the shot and went home and took the antidote that he had....alittle shocking I know....
Anyway here's some info on lithium you might find useful....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_carbonate
I don't know if you've tried looking there.
Anyway kind regards,
Meri
