HelloYou have not mentioned the dosage of lithosun. Moreover, i donot think that presently lithium alone can be sufficient.In my opinion her daxid should be increased to 75-150mg daily dose, and stop opiprol ( as it is not desirable at all in her case). get the lithium levels done, if it is less then it will be good to increase her lithium dose. Continue monitoring her condition.She should start showing improvement in about a week.  Ask her to take more water and salad.May continue modalert for some time and when she ges better stop that. Hope this helps youwish you good luck.Dr. Manisha GopalMD Psychiatry
