Anyone taking Lithium + Lexapro? What would be considered, Good results? My bf is on them, but i don't know what he was like before he was heavily medicated. But, it seems as if is experiencing a slight lithium toxicity.. With the diarrhea, vomitting, drowsiness, hand tremors. But, also he's been this way since i've met him.

Would, Deproloft at to the toxicity? (Naturopathic Remedy)Ingredients:

Vitamin B12 275.0mcg

Folate 200.0mcg

Rhodiola rosea extract 25.0mg

Iodine 34.0mcg

Vitamin B6 2.5mg

Vitamin C 125.0mg

St. John's Wort extract 75.0mg

Eleuthero extract 25.0mg

L-Tyrosine 100.0mg

5-Hydroxytryptophan 13.0mg

Gamma Aminobutyric Acid 125.0mg

Pantethine Octahydrate 65.0mg

Could vitamin B cause lithium toxicity?

Also, should he be taking Deproloft while on an SSRI such as Lexapro? Because of the 5-htp.

thanks,

**he also has lithium induced psoriasis.

I took lithium and lexapro, and then I switched it to lexapro and lamictal. Lithium made me vomit a lot and at random times. I also couldn't really function on it. Like it would be good to stabilize me but that's it. I was really sleepy and zombie-ish. Then again i was on a pretty high dosage. He shouldn't take the Deproloft without his doc's permission

Delia is right,there are several ingredients that can interact with many bp meds, He needs to check with pdoc before taking it.
