Hi Linkadge,
>Apparently my kidneys/creatinine are still bad enough at the lower current dose of 450 (down from 675) that he wants me to reduce it even further. I am hoping he will let me try the 300 mg for a while.
> Do you need to come off it all? Could you continue to take a lower dose (i.e. 300mg)? For additional mood stabilization, you could first look to valproate, tegretol or lamictal. If neither of these are suitable, you could look to antipsychotics.
