In reply to Lithium (or risperdal) Augmentation of ADs, posted by yolatengo on May 17, 2005, at 13:15:46
Hi,
I am on Effexor XR 225 mg. for the last 5 years and started lithium over 2 weeks ago. I am up to 900 mg. daily taken as 600 mg. at bedtime and 300 mg. in the morning. I am having a very robust response and have no side effects from the lithium other than some thirst which is now going away. My first blood test came back sub-therapeutic, however, I had missed one dose. My pdoc is very pleased and wants me to stay the course at 900 mg. until I see him next week. Good luck to you!
