> Hi Beth,
> I too, like you, titrated up SLOWLY! and I'm at 200mg now and don't feel much. I was on Depakote while I was at the lower titration levels and every small increase, I'd go into a nice hypomanic state for a couple of days. It was great. Once the Depakote finished, I lost those buzzy feelings, but at each increase felt "normalish" for a few days then it would drop off - wouldn't stick. I went into a horrible mixed state on Monday, so I"m still cycling. I just saw my pdoc today and I'm starting Lithium with the Lam. today.

I know that is what I am worried about. I will feel good for a few days, then I'm back to blah, yucky again. I don't know, I am also on other meds so I was hoping that might give me the edge I need. Please let me know how the Lithium does for you, that seems to be a nice combo from what I've read. Oh, and yes I am starting to notice an increase in my weight as well as thinning of my hair. It totally sucks!Take care,
Beth
