I am so easily fooled.
Lithium at 300 mg/day may have been causing me to feel somewhat unmotivated, apathetic, and passive, but it was also acting as an integral component of my treatment regime to produce a more robust antidepressant response.
I have felt pretty crappy over the last 2 days. I felt particularly crappy early this morning.
Sooooo...
I restarted the lithium with a dose of 150 mg this morning and followed up with a 150 mg dose in the afternoon. I am feeling much better. Damn. Now, I must find the lowest effective dosage. Perhaps 200 mg/day? I'll need to speak to my doctor about getting 100 mg pills to work with.
Please forgive my running around in circles.
Currently:
Parnate 80 mg/day
nortriptyline 150 mg/day
Lamictal 200 mg/day
lithium 150 - 300 mg/day
Abilify 10 mg/day
prazosin 15 mg/day
minocycline 200 mg/day
