My 2 cents..definitely worth another try
It is not uncommon at all for people with bp to not respond well to lithium. I think lithium controls manic symptoms of many bipolars but the side effects prevent them from continuing. And, the type of BP symptoms can make a difference in how someone responds.
There are others here that will go into more detail than I have. Also, I don't know of any studies.
What other meds are you on now and what other medications have you tried before?
