Ah ok. Lithium was awesome with controlling my moods but I was a
complete zombie while taking it. My dosage was 1200mg (4 300mg tablets) a day because anything lower just didn't even begin to touch my episodes. But it worked so well because I didn't want to do anything but sleep. While on it my friends noticed a major change and often commented on how tired I looked. So then I got switched to Lamictal and we steadily increased my dosage from 100mg to 300mg daily while taking 300mg of Lithium at night. That still didn't stabilize my moods so the doc stopped the Lithium and added Latuda.
So we've been on the same medication just in a different order
