That doesn't sound like much fun.
1. Why are you taking lithium?
2. Are you bipolar? How do you know?
3. How would you describe the improvement that lithium provides you with?
4. If lithium helped initially, is it still helping just as much?
5. What dosage of lithium are you taking?
6. How long have you been taking lithium?
7. Which, if any, antidepressants have you tried? Which one worked best? Which one made you feel worse?
8. Have you ever tried Prozac? If so, what were the results? It is not unusual for people with depression/anxiety to require 60 mg/day.
9. How do you feel about taking a combination of four or more medications? Are you willing to do it?Anxiety can drive depression.
Depression can drive anxiety.
