Need HELP fine tuning...

Posted by sheilac on October 17, 2012, at 14:53:26

I take the following:

300mg Lith (150am & pm)
300mg Trileptal (150mg am & pm)
1-2mg Klonopin (pm)

Since adding the low dose lithium I have been much calmer and easier to get along with. People seem to like me better on low dose lith and I am able to let things roll off and just be cool.

HOWEVER, I have noticed that my enthusiasm, creativity and drive have come to a complete stop. This is a problem because I am a creative person and the art work I do requires a certain level of drive, enthusiasm and obviously, creativity.

Since starting the Lith, I could care less about doing anything.

My doc gave me 5mg Ritalin because she things I have ADD or ADHD, but I don't notice anything with the Ritalin/Lithium combo. I think the Lithium kills the Ritalin. Or maybe I need more Riatalin.

So - how do I get my mojo back? Drop down to 150mg of Lith a day? Stay on the same level of Lith, but up the Ritalin?

Used to take Adderall and it seemed stronger than Ritalin, but it also made me a little obsessive.

Being level is good, but being a couch potato is bad.

Not sure what to do, but my energy, drive and enthusiasm are suffering, as well as my art.

Any suggestions?
