You can all see my main conditions in my signature below. Now every time an antidepressant works for me it seems to work on a rota- i.e. a few good days followed by a few bad days. Never get any highs, but is this an indication of rapid cycle unipolar disorder? Would a mood stabiliser help? I've been offered lithium at one poin. The offers still open but im slightly scared to add lithium. How difficult is it to find the right dose and is it even worth me trying? I know it can have alot of side effects and needs a gelular blood level chaeck, but will it make me DUMB or will it enhance my ADs and get rid of the ups & downs? Im thinking of it but somewhat too scared to try it. It would be the biggest gun I've consumed as part of a med strategy.
What do people think? Like I said I'm totally unfamiliar with the drug. How bad can the side effects get?
Thanks,med
