I know Lithium can help with Benzo withdrawal, but I haven't found any papers showing it to help with APP withdrawals so I'm not sure what I should do.

I was on Lithium + Seroquel. I noticed whenever I skipped dosing occasionally, I would feel fine the next morning. However after tapering off Lithium completely, then HALVING Seroquel (which I've done previously with no ill effects), the next morning I felt screwed up and had all the mental and physical withdrawal symptoms. This is why I believe Lithium may have stabilizing properties that prevent the withdrawal symptoms of Seroquel, but I can't find any confirming papers. Anyone have any idea?


EDIT: On a side note, I did take 1000 mg of Ashwagandha root (5 % extract) that night I halved the Seroquel dose which may be a confounding factor....
