Is it recommended to stop lithobid and stay on abilify (aripiprazole)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ask you doctor: Lithobid (lithium carbonate) is typically a medication that needs to be slowly discontinued rather than abruptly stopped. These medications are used in the treatment of bipolar disorder. Studies indicate that only 9% of bipolar patients can be stabilized on a single medication. 80% of patients take between 2-5 medications to achieve stabilization. It is common to use these two meds in combination.
