Hi Shiela-
I'm only on 300mg of Lithium and it's working great for now (seemingly keeping my mood stable & working as a good AD w/ Lexapro and Tramadol).
Have you tried staying at 450mg of Lithium w/ your other meds for a long enough period of time to properly judge the effects?
I still think that Adderall is the culprit for the irritability. I'm not sure how long you've taken it for, but going just one day off it won't tell you much. You need to give it a week. You're definitely going to experience depression, irritability and fatigue when stopping it, but that should all go away shortly.
I also think paradoxical reactions can happen w/ any med. I get mania from Neurontin and it's often used as a mood stabilizer. Go figure...
