Tay,

> I was reading about using the two drugs in combination, allowing for a low dose of each, but read that there is an increased risk of neurotoxicity when combining Lithium with ox/carbamazapine.
> Do you know if they are used together in practice commonly?

At one point I was considering trying Trileptal as an add-on to my Lithobid. I did not come across the research that shows a possible increased risk of neurotoxicity when combining Lithium with ox/carbamazapine. If you can find the link I'd be interested in reading it.

> In response to your query of type of Li+ etc, as above, and my blood level is usually 1.2-1.3mmol/L

Why does your pdoc want you blood levels so high? Is your dx BP I or BP II? I'm no doctor, but I'd think that much lithium would flatted anybody's creativity.
