Lithium Augmentation

After deciding that Duloxetine was not providing me with very much theraputic effect at all, we’ve added Lithium to the mix, in an attempt to augment the action of an antidepressant. Since the side effects of Duloxetine were not too bad, we’ve stuck with it.

I’m on a starting dose of 400mg Priadel (the brandname I’m on), and then probably going up to 800mg in stages, depending on the results of weekly blood tests.

Side effects so far have been extreme thirst, dry mouth, and feeling generally quite wooly in my head.
