I do. I take lithium and Risperdal. The Risperdal is for paranoia and sounds I hear that don't go away on lithium.

I take Saphris with my lithium. My doc considers them both necessary for mood stabilization.

I've taken lithium with numerous APs. I don't take it now because I've had multiple toxicities but I took it a long time and it was nearly always with an AP and if not with an AP then with an anti-convulsant (sometimes with both and AP and an AC).

Thanks you guys,
do you take them at the same time?
Should litium be taken with food?
I tried looking up the info but did not get far.

I take my lithium twice a day and the clozapine at night. I usually take my meds with food just as good practice but I don't know if it's a must or not.

I took Lithium with Risperidone, both at night, while at the hospital. But now they are being switched. Off the Risperidone, and Lithium will be during the day. I like to take my meds with food. I've had better experiences with it overall, but I don't think it's a must for all meds. I just prefer it.

Zyprexa also made me manic, which caused my change to seroquel.
