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

Well lithium has a role in bipolar depression than unipolar. Vitamins D and Calcium deficiency need to be corrected and are not due to your medication.

Dear lybrate-user,
Please get serum lithium level 12 hours after the last tablet of lithium 400 mg, Also get thyroid and kidney function tests. Remember these tests are not to diagnose your disorder. They are for giving lithium in proper dose (0.8 to 1.2 mE/l) and for its side effects.
Unfortunately, we don't have an antidepressant tablet that works instantly. All of them take 2-3 weeks to act. But you can take ECT (electro-convulsive therapy) or Ketamine infusion for immediate relief if...more
