> Does anyone take Lithium on this board? You never hear about it? My pdoc mentioned trying me on Lithium and Depakote ... is that combo any good? What is the pdoc aiming for with that combo? Thanks, Michael
Your doctor may be testing whether you have BPI/II -- Lithium doesn't really have a huge value outside of Bipolar disorder although it is used. Both medications are primary medications for Bipolar. Lithium preparations are not without their side effects, they require some monitoring and they do produce more thirst.
