I take lithium carbonate ER 600 2x a day gabapentin 600 mg 3x a day, metoprolol ER succinate 2x day, amlodipine besylate 2.5 mg 1x a day, naltrexone 50 mg PRN, Acamprosate 333 mg 1x day ( am weening off), famotidine 40mg 2x a day, melatonin 5mg1xday, Calcium 600 2x daily, magnesium and some other suppliments. Question is my blood pressure is still not in control and taking a calcium channel blocker without diuretics/ ace inhibitors leaves me with considerable bloating but at least not edema. I want to be able to take a wider range if drugs for HBP, bit can't because of the lithium ( which works awesome!). Should I try to switch mood stablilizers?My current bp drugs keep it under control but only somewhat. I can't take ace inhibitors or diuretics due to the lithium. Are the any mood stabilizers that aren't dangerous with alcohol? How is lamicatall?
