Hi Maggie, My doctor currently has me on the verapamil and lithium along with a stronger steroid (dexamethasone). When I asked him last week he told me no other meds should be mixed with the lithium. I have taken a combination of verapamil and depakote. That didn't work either! Years ago I was taking verapamil and sansert together, but my understanding from him is that the company does not make the sansert any longer because it is no longer profitable for them. Hope this helps, Joanie

Hi Maggie, Currently taking verapamil, lithium and a stronger steroid (dexamethasone). Spoke to the Dr. last week and he told me that no other meds should be mixed with the lithium. However, I have taken depakote with the verapamil and years ago sansert with the verapamil. Unfortunately, the sansert is no longer available because it is not profitable for the company that made it. Hope this helps and sorry if the post shows up twice! Joanie
