I hear what you're saying and I am concerned about kidneys and thyroid.
Like you said, my doc did start me on a combo of both. 300mg Lithium and 300mg Trileptal. But I didn't feel like it was keeping the agitation away. At first she just had me on Trileptal and I got depressed so she added the lithium.
Maybe for better, safer stability I go up to 450mg of Trileptal and stay with 300mg of lithium for the depression.
Being that Trileptal alone makes me depressed, going up on it and using lithium to fight some of the depression might be good.
I wonder if I will need to aim higher like 600mg of Trileptal. Isn't lithium more of an antidepressant at 300mg?
I still have Klonopin and low dose adderall.
