My wife has been suffering from depression for many years. for the past three years she has been on 1200mg Lithium, 375mg effexor XL, plus weekly injection 200mg of Clopixol. She has been admitted to hospital very depressed and suicidal. Overnight they have dropped her medication as follows Lithium down to 400mg. effexor doen to 225mg and clopixol down to 100mg. This seems to be an large drop very quickly she is already very distressed and confused. Can anyone advise as to wether this is a normal occurance.
