Don't take lithium. I take Trileptal for that (900mg). I'm also on Invega Sustenna 117mg about to be 156mg. Then I take Trazodone (100mg) for sleep, but doesn't work well.

No, Riku. I am not on Lithium. I was on it at 900 and then went off it. It was horrible for me. I also have zyprexa that I take on an as needed basis. Like now. I take it for acute mania.

I wrote in another post.
