In reply to Lithium alone for depresson ? need AD?, posted by francineus on April 9, 2008, at 18:30:10
> My doc thinks that since I have not responded well to AD's (make me agitated or stop working or don't work) that I have bipolar dx (although I have not enjoyed the mania). My mom is bipolar so maybe there's something to it. Now taking lithium 1125mg.
> It's helping with tearfulness but I am still VERY depressed. The doc thinks that the higher dose can work as an AD. What do you all think? Perhaps an AD would work better with the lithium.
>That's quite possible. Also, it may not be a good idea to use higher doses of lithium due to increasing risks of hypothyroidism and renal dysfunction.
