You've become tolerant to lithium?! You're like a super-bug thats unaffected by antibiotics. No choice. We'll just have to cut your head off and bury you somewhere, cuz it goes without saying, we can't turn you loose.

With those kinds of drugs, I think it sometimes takes a while for them to be really effective. For instance, I take Zoloft and when I first started taking it, it was about 2 1/2 or 3 months before I noticed a difference.
I'd ask your doctor ASAP. They might be able to make a simple tweek in your prescription that'll make you feel better.

I have seen this combination before, and it is a very scary one.
Please see a different doctor ASAP.
The timing of taking these prescriptions is too important and in so, impractical to work properly.
YOU REALLY NEED TO GET A SECOND OR THIRD OPINION. I'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE AND IT IS A RECIPEE FOR DISASTER.
With all my heart, best wishes to you, There is a way to get control of this. Don't give up, Don't lose hope.

That's an awful lot of drugs. Not everything works for everybody in the same way. Go back to your doctor.

I think you need to see your doctor, my dear. It is dangerous asking people here for that serious medication you are taking. There is a nurse service where you can call 24 hours a day they maybe able to help you until you see your doctor again. Goodluck to you

Get to your doctor now and tell him/her what's going on. Perhaps the dosage isn't strong enough. Unless of course, you're full of crap.
