[QUOTE="buddy, post: 478392, member: 12886"] one doctor called, says the lithium lowers seizure threshold, not that it causes seizures in and of itself, so if he is benefitting from the lithium, then we may need to just work on upping the current seizure medication. Bummer to have to do two things but at least it is an option. When we tried to add the other seizure medication it was such a huge bust, seemed like a switch was flipped and I know others who have had seizures become harder to control once they start up again (like when you lower a dose to see if you can go off, then even after returning to the previously working dose nothing helps...so hope we are not in that situation). I dont want to think of the what if's so much.... but what if we have to stop the lithium...then back to psychiatric hospital?? yikes, this just totally stinks. Thanks for being my sounding board, Dee [/QUOTE]
