I'm BPII, and don't tolerate anticonvulsants or antipsychotics very well.
At 600mg of lithium, it helps a little bit, and I feel fine. But there is only a trace of it in my blood. Doc wants to get up to therapeutic level. When I raise to 900mgs, I feel very depersonalized and stoned. Does this go away? I have this reaction (derealization), to many or most meds, must be a defense mechanism.
a)might this go away
b) is lithium effective for BP II and racing thoughts?
c) is it ok to take lexapro with LithiumThank you all.
