>Would'nt this establish Lithium as a potential risk for serotonin syndrome when used with an AD
You are absolutely right. The ceiling for reaching SS is rather high, however, so with Lithium augmentation you have a lot of wiggle room because it doesn't upregulate serotonin like a normal AD would.
I take Lithium (1200 mg) with Viibryd (60 mg) and Vyvanse (70 mg)and only run into problems if I add another serotogenic medication.
