I know of the risk, he has told me of the risk and Ive read alot about the problems with combining haloperidol with lithium. LIke I was saying before, my Pdoc is well experienced and is in Research. I trust him. I dont want to change him he is not a bad psychatrist.

I cant try amoxapine because If i do that i have to stop clomipramine and I have severe OCD I dont want that to make things worse as I am on a high dose of clomip (200mg).

Anyway maybe Clozapine is the only thing left for me. *shrugs*

> I think you should avoid the haldol+lithium combo...this combo has caused serious problems in some patients. Can you switch shrinks? The risk w/ combining lithium and antipsychotic, especially haldol, is *not to be ignored*.
