Flooded ~ I am on Lithium too. Recently I reduced my mg's and I set myself up for breakthroughs in mood. I had forgotten what it felt like to be stable enough, but not totally stable. My pdoc prescribed Abilify and that helped tremendously. I also take Seroquel when nothing else works or Risperdol. Those two immediately shut me down. The Risperdol, liquid form, hits me immediately whereas the Seroquel has to have some time to go through the gut and then the blood stream, that's why I always have on hand one of the anti-psychotics in liquid form for emergencies only.
Do you think you are reaching Lithium toxity?
