I have been taking 450mg of Lithium with Adderall. I wonder if the Adderall increases the concentration of Lithium in my blood. I'll find out this week what my blood level is.
I have been on 600mg of Lithium for 2 days and have felt angrier on the higher dose. I have argued with my husband, threatened divorce, etc. This is not me.
I am still having the sucky side effects of diarrhea, hair loss, dry skin, thirst, memory loss.
But I cannot take anger and rage.
Just searching for that one nice pill that won't make me manic, fat, sleepy.
Maybe the Adderall really is bad for me too, but I get a lot of good out of it. I think it just causes anger problems when it wears off. I may need to discuss a different stimulant with the doc.
I'm going back down to 450mg of Lithium until I see my doc.
