Hi terrics:
I just forgot to mention one more thing in my previous reply/post, ...When you cut off of the Lithium, you should NOT stop abruptly, because sudden discontinuation of any psycho. med. causes some 'withdrawal' symptoms to worry about. Then, besides a lack of the Lithium efficacy(A.D. in this case), there is also some 'withdrawal' symptoms which MAY aggrevate your depression symptoms. Then, if you can, try to take a 'tiny' dosage of the Lithium, 300 mg. or less(if you can, ... cut one tab. in a half by using a sharp knife or med.-cutter). Your systems asking/looking for the Lithium at least, a new 'brand' Lamictal starts working on your depression.
H.G.
