@depressedbutnotdead - was this perhaps one of the publications you found? I found it on the National Institutes of Health site, but then I went to the full publication, which is The Primary
Care Companion for CNS Disorders, which appears to be published by Psychiatrist.com.

Was put on a patch that made me start a manic swing, called my clinic and pharmacist right away. (After 10 years on Lithium for BP2 over 20 years ago, I’m sooooo careful when prescribed a new drug for any reason. Often not even picking up at pharmacy. Thank God my self awareness is always in check
