I have unipolar depression that cycles between mild/moderate and severe and my pdoc has suggested I try Lithium. I haven't found much about its effectiveness in this type of depression, has anyone had any experience of it or know of any useful links? I'm on 225mg Efexor at the moment.
Thanks, _me

Lamictal would be a good choice if the lithium doesn't do the trick. It has shown itself to be effective for:1. Acute bipolar depression
2. Rapid-cycling
3. Mood stabilization, preventing relapse into depressionGood luck with the lithium. If you tolerate the side effects, but don't feel that it is helping enough, you can simply add the Lamictal to it.

That site links to information that could be used to import into the US prescription medication without a prescription, so I'd rather not have it posted here, see:
