That is a very astute observation. With ECT induced currents, lithium is absorbed into the tissue more readily. I imagine such would be the same with rTMS induced currents.
Please refresh my memory. How does lithium work to enhance serotonergic neurotransmission?
By the way, how are you feeling today?
I am very encouraged that you have been able to continue with your trial of amitriptyline.
