Hi,
> I am taking 1200mg of lithium along with 100mg Amitriptyline since April '04 after a slew of other antidepressants failed to lift my severe unipolar depression.
I suffer from severe unipolar depression, but i'm only at 600mg, i will take a blood test at the end of this week to check blood level.
Do you know from your blood tests what your blood level of lithium is?
Did you have to go up to 1200mg to get relief?
> From about the first week I noticed that my brain fog began to clear and that I felt better than the previous week.
Yeah, i've noticed some brain fog, feels good to hear that it may eventually disappear.
> For me it seemed to kick in quick and strong and despite the side effects dry mouth, increased thirst, quarterly bloodwork etc I wouldn't be without it.
Nice to hear, i can take some s/e, as long as they are not sexual..
Kind regards,
Mattias
