Judy1, I just got back from seeing my pdoc and I got 300mg of Lithium added to my 300mg Neurontin and 1.0-1.5mg of Klonopin. We are going to see if I can "back off* the Celexa after I have been on the lowdose Lithium for awhile. It has worked before for major depression (as monotheraphy-600mg/day!)
I just took the first tab of Li about two hours ago and I feel like I am going to sleep ok tonite.
The TLE thing may be just a pseudo-syndrome brought on by antidepressant use as far as I know.
Thanks for your concern. Oh, by the way, have you heard anything about Clobazam? It is indicated for partial seizures (and just as good for panic) and less sedating than Klonopin. I am going to do some research on it.
Thanks again,
Mitch

> You might want to up the klonopin a little while you get off your celexa- not to the point of sedation of course. I take 6mg/day of klonopin and xanax prn, not too unusual in panic disorder and suspicion of TLE. Take care, judy
