Intalith 450 MG Tablet Health Feed

You should notice change after 4 to 6 weeks but full recovery may take months. After recovery you should continue to take medicines till your psychiatrist advises you to stop. Very commonly it is seen that patients stop treatment after remission and subsequently they relapse. These medicines are safe for long term use. Good luck.

These things take time but sir pls tell me what are your alternative treatments that you are taking? medicines shall control your symptoms...but they cannot take away the way you think the way you operate the way you behave somewhere as human beings we need to continue to evolve change our patterns that are negatively impacting us...what make us angry or overreact...what are the triggers of depressive mood...self awareness is a must...but along all this you need to be excited about life...it has...more

Dear lybrate-user,
for long term mood stability, sometimes you may need many different tablet combinations. Try and report to your doctor after few weeks.
In psychiatry, there is no need of conducting 'tests' in your terms. The best test the psychiatrist conducts, is called as 'mental status examination'
diagnosis in psychiatry is mostly the symptom clusters and mental status examination.

You desperately need therapy. The challenges of everyday living pose a major stress to people and they learn to cope with it through various adaptations, techniques, and tools. In the case of the bipolar condition your adjustability is more difficult than the normal population. Apart from this there are many issues of the mind that medication cannot address, and these are ideally worked out in therapy. Please put yourself on a tight time-schedule with exercises, interesting activities, functiona...more

The reasons for stopping the medications are unknown since you have not listed as to why you have stopped the medications, however, your anxiety seems to have returned and it is highly recommended that you start to take the medications from a psychiatrist befor...more

I think your daughter may be treated for Bipolar 1. I suggest you take her immediately to a counselor and treat her with talk therapy too. In her later adolescence, there are likely to be some unresolved issues that may go as far as prenatal influences. It comes up at this time seeking a resolution. But unfortunately not many are aware of this and will go untreated and compound the disorder. Both parents must also accompany her to help trace the problems encountered in childhood. There are certa...more

Please recheck serum lithium level. If she is having lamotrigine induced switch it will take at least 8 to 12 weeks to come back to normal. The other medicine given along will help in controlling the symptoms with proper dosses. Patience is required in such cases,

Lithium level is normal only, so lithium can be continued if other blood parameters are fine. On your mood symptoms discuss the lack of improvement with your treating psychiatrist, and try alternate medications if needed. Being open about no improvement will lead to the doctor taking note and doing away with medications that do not work. All the best.

Dear Djeapriya,
Bipolar disorder is a lifelong disorder. Your daughter needs to be on lithium and/or lamotrigine for a long time. Right now, she is in a manic phase. You have experienced it before. Definitely with serum lithium 0.8 mE/l, it will be mild. By your earlier experience, you must be knowing how long it takes for her to come to normal mood. This episode also will take the same number of days. With quetiapine 300 mg it will be milder also. Please remember that lamotrigine 200 mg/day...more
