I'm sorry you were so sick, jaymoq. I can understand be wary of Lithium because of that.

I'm a little confused. Are you suggesting replacing Lithium with propranolol? Replacing Wellbutrin with propranolol? Or adding propranolol to Lithium and Wellbutrin? If the first, are you on some other mood stabilizer or an antipsychotic besides Lithium? I've heard and personally experienced propranolol being helpful for both anxiety and hand tremors, but it's not a mood stabilizer. I don't believe it's meant to control depression or hypomania/mania. It certainly wouldn't control mine. I take propranolol for tachycardia, which could be a bit related to anxiety. For some people it's also helpful for lowering blood pressure.

Check with your psychiatrist or pharmacist, but it was always my understanding that you could take Lithium with acetaminophen (Tylenol), so it's not like there's no OTC pain reliever allowed. I never took ibuprofen or naproxen sodium on Lithium. I missed ibuprofen, but never really used naproxen sodium.
Thanks for this!
