Re: Lithium / Geodon question...

In reply to Lithium / Geodon question..., posted by SheilaC on August 7, 2010, at 8:22:34

>I am wondering, should I take 150mg of Lithium in the morning and then another 150mg of Lithium at lunch?

If you are taking one of the sustained release brands of lithium, taking it as a single daily dose should be sufficient. If not, it is normally given twice a day.

>Would this help the irritability?

It might do. I can't see any harm in trying.

>Or, should I leave the 300mg alone and divide my Geodon dose? Maybe I need a tiny dose of Geodon with my Lithium?

Geodon is normally given twice a day. If you are taking the entire dose at night, its effectiveness might not be optimal. You might benefit from a small dose in the morning eg. 20mg in the morning (and 40-60mg at night).

>At least with the Lithium I feel more alive and alert.

That's great news Sheila. I expect that with a little 'fine tuning' you could feel even better :)
