If you have ADHD, then its to your advantage to take the right dose. Just for comparison, you take 5 mg of Adderal while my 10 year old son takes 10 mg of Adderal on top of Straterra. Do you have ADHD? Or do you hope the Adderal will help you with your mood?

As you raise your Lithium, more seratonin will be released...In fact, more than the Adderal is pushing. So, the Lithium will be helping with your depression the higher your dose gets. I take 1200 mg and hardly ever have problems with depression.

Abilify and Geodon, especially Geodon have antidepressants in them. Both have been known to cause mania.

I'm mistified why the bathroom issues persist. Hopefully they go away soon. If they don't stop, you may have to stop the Lithium or you might become dehydrated.

Hair loss could become a serious problem. If you start to bald, I would stop the Lithium.

IF you have to stop the Lithium, I would recommend you switch to Depakote.
