In reply to therapeutic sleep deprivation with lithium, posted by rovers95 on June 28, 2019, at 8:29:54
Hi,
Yes, I will use partial sleep or total sleep deprivation, on occasion, if my depression gets bad. It does relieve depression (for me, at least) but isn't conducive to being incredibly functional the next day. Lithium can help make the effect last a few days.
Sleep deprivation is a different feel from any antidepressant I have used. It can make the world seem fresh and new again. Nice while it lasts - who knows what the mechanism is.
