What Causes Depression And Mania In Condition Like Bi-polar Syndrome?

I am bi-polar with more depressive 90% than mania 10%. I was just in to see my psychiatrist and he has switched me from Wellbutrin XL (300 MG) recently upped from 150MG and Seroquel XR (75 MG) to Lexapro (10 MG) and Lithium (?mg). I am concerned about taking the Lithium as I was recently diagnosed with IC and I see that frequent urination can be caused by taking Lithium. Can I take the Lexapro with Seroquel without any adverse reactions, or should I just bite the bullet and take the Lithium?

You should consult your psychiatrist and let him know about your urinary problem. You can't take only Lexapro and Seroquel because you can have episodes of mania. Litium is adapt to take mania under control.
