How to wean off of Lithium Carbonate without having much effects?
human
I am currently on 900mg of Lithium Carbonate (APO brand) as well as .025mg of Synthroid (used solely as a booster for the Lithium), and have been doing so for 2+ years. I m looking to wean myself off the drugs as I have been experiencing some negative symptoms, I m finding them less effective in recent months, and I really just want to get an idea as to where my disorder sits these days. My question is: How can I wean myself off of these drugs safely?? (I currently do NOT have access to either my family doctor or psychiatrist)

Thanks for your query, In my opinion you can not wean off the medications safely of your own without taking consent of your doctor, as it carries a high risk of relapse of symptoms. If you do not have an access to your family doctor or psychiatrist then you should consult another psychiatrist and wean off the medications in his/her supervision
