lithium alternatives

Post by Kirabo »

Hey guys,

My wife has been taking lithium for several years. Unfortunately, now its caused a major medical issue. She has developed a downbeat nystagmatus. It's rapid eye movement that essentially causes a loss of vision. It's made damage to her brain.

She has to get off of lithium.

Does anybody have any suggestions of meds that have worked for them instead of lithium?

Current thought is valproate (Depakote).

Thoughts or suggestions?
