starpirate555 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 thanks to my psychiatrist my lithium will be lowered. will i lose weight slowly when this happens or will it stay the same a while. eventually i will be put down to 300mg lithium and 30mg abilify. do the side effects lessen when lithium is at this dosage. i cant wait to see what the outcome will be. i hope this works. lithium 900mg abilify 20mg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mardon219 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I am down to 150 mg of lithium from 600 mg. I am ready to start going down to 75 mg. I needed to slowly detox because I have been on it so long. It can have some bad side effects if you don't detox properly. I would like to just stop altogether but I do not want to suffer anymore withdrawal symptoms, i.e. extreme dizziness, sweats, insomnia, headaches. I am not feeling really depressed but if I have a problem with that, my doc said she would give me something else for the depression besides the antidepressant I am now taking. I have never been manic so no worries about that thank God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlossong Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I went from 1200mg lithium to none but I didn't lose anything for 2 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
