In reply to Lithium, Nortriptyline + Pdocs, posted by Bryn B on July 5, 2012, at 14:17:15
My life was ruined through a concommitant use of Nortriptyline and Lithium. An interim pdoc I was seeing insisted that I was bi-polar because i suffer from both depression and anxiety, and made some wild promises about switching from Nortriptyline to Lithium. The only results were severe panic attacks that I still suffer to this day (a little over three years later).
Giving Lithium a try was the literally the single worst mistake I've ever made in my life. I would advise against it.
Why not just go under the assumption that it's unipolar depression, treat that accordingly, and see what happens. At the worst you'll have solved half your problem.
