Hi John,
When I took lithium I was on depakote + trileptal + neurontin + zyprexa, but no AD. I also took it a year or so back and had the same reaction -- horrible depression within a couple of hours.
I agree with the idea of first trying to avoid all destabilizing agents (which obviously includes anti-depressants). Unfortunately, it seems like that is not going to be an option for me which makes things a lot more complicated. I couldn't be more satisified with my psydoc, but I think I might benefit from getting a second opinion from someone who is bit more specialized.
It's ashame how many people see second rate psydocs for their mental health problems. The difference between a top doctor and a run of the mill doctor is the difference between life and death -- figuratively and literally. OK, rant over. :)
Well, I'm glad things are considerably better for you than they have been, and hopefully we'll both find the right combo of drugs someday.
Jon
