Specifically, there is a growing body of evidence that suggests that lithium increases the effect of antidepressants by acting at the presynaptic serotoninergic receptor to up-regulate 5-HT (serotonin) release. The effect may also be linked to a decrease in the sensitivity of presynaptic 5-HT receptors, which results in an increase in the amount of serotonin absorbed at the post-synaptic level.
More serotonin!
