is it safe for me to take lithium?

is it safe for me to take lithium?

i take Abilify 10 mg and seroquel XR 150 mg
i dont feel better, a little bit, but not much as in "improvement"

is lithium safe in a lamictal induced drug psychosis?

i'm curious, i will have to ask my new doctor this, but i am unsure if it's safe for me

cuz Zyprexa gives me psychotic attacks, i no longer take that

Seroquel and abilify are only things that work atm

I don't see how a small dose of lithium would hurt. If anything, it may help repair some of the damage. And at the very leas, it will likely be neuroprotective.

Jeroen, do you exercise? Moderate to intense cardiovascular exercise for 20 t 30 mins 5 days a week can help you rebuild your brain and should have immediate effects on mood and cognition.

Jeroen that's great news that the abilify and seroquel are working some and you do have a new doc. Do you like this doc and does he listen to you? Phillipa
