Lithium

[tallie82]

Hi, I have been on Lithium for 4.5 weeks now and am starting to feel my mood lift- I am also on quetiepine, lamotrogine and duloxetine. The idea is to wean me off the others and just have me on Lithium. Is it too soon for it to be working? I also have been given a beta blocker for my anxiety which has also helped a lot, it's hard to tell with everything I'm on, I just don't want to get my hopes up I'm getting better.....

Anyone??

Hi tallie, glad you’re feeling a little better. It doesn’t seem too soon to notice an improvement, I think lithium just takes ages to get working fully at maximum power - and not that it doesn’t start doing something earlier. I’m a fan, been on and off (mostly on and mostly lithium alone) for about twenty years.
