If you are taking lithium and efexor are you bipolar?
In short, probably no Lithium is a mood stabilizing drug, which is indicative of bipolar treatment. However efexor is a serotonin and noradrenaline (nor-epinephrine) reuptake inhibitor, and is thus contraindicated in the treatment of bipolar disorder. It is thought that noradrenaline is responsible for the manic phases seen in bipolar, so a drug increasing its levels should not be given in the treatment of bipolar disorder. It is likely that efexor is being given because of the severity of the depression, and the lithium is being given to overcome the mood unstabilizing effects of it As with all things medical its probably best to ask your doctor why they gave you that combination.
