>If the nortriptyline didn't work out, I was going to try lithium again. I had always been on lithium carbonate, but I wonder if my body will view lithium citrate as a "different drug" and thus allow it to work.
It shouldn't make any difference whether you take the carbonate salt or the citrate salt. Only the lithium ion itself has activity on the central nervous system. Different brands of lithium tablets have varying release characteristics, but this is due to different 'slow release' technology being used, not due to the lithium salt itself.
>I don't think the perphenazine is making me cry, because I've been on it for several months now and the crying is brand new.
It could be the high doses of sedatives taken at night. Crying has been reported as a side effect of high dose Ativan, for example.
