I think I've tried just about every antidepressant in the book. I also take Adderall, Xanax, and Librax. Doc just started me on Lamictal but it takes forever to get to a therapeutic dose of it so I've been pretty emotionally out of whack- quitting the antidepressants and going to basically nothing for a month (as I taper up on the Lamictal.) I had just tapered of Celexa and started wellbutrin but after 3 weeks it caused my anxiety to be so severe I couldn't stand it. Not sure if that's because of the Adderall with it or what but it wasn't working.
Have you had your blood checked lately for your Lithium? Defanitly ask to switch to something else if there are nasty side effects like that! There are enough meds out there that they can find one that doesn't give you such bad reactions to it. Are you on anything with it?
