I go to see my PDoc today. She will up the Effoxer and get me off lithium for good. I'll probably stay on Lamictal though. I hope the increase in Effexor will relieve me of panic attacks. I will be on 75mg about. She wants to do things very slow to find the sweet spot for me, so I don't take more than I need. It's an SNRI. I wonder my my previous PDoc didn't think of all these extra things, like upping my Geodon for bipolar, or trying an SNRI. Instead, it was SSRI or nothing.
I hope getting off my Lithium will give me back my full range of normal emotions. sigh.
