I’ve been on 1500mg lithium and 30mg citalopram since July and have found that I’m now fairly stable. However I’m not particularly happy. I started on the SSRI for depression during a bout of intense SI and even tested the method I was going to use. Eventually I stopped that SSRI because I felt “cured.” 

This was probably a hypomanic episode which added the lithium to my treatment. Anyway does anybody have experience with switching out an SSRI with lithium and getting a boost in mood? I’m just flat and I don’t know what to do. Thought that maybe a different SSRI or even a totally different drug treatment for depression might help. 

Thoughts?
