Hi. I was prescribed Lithium a little later in my illness. I was diagnosed 15 years ago and have used mood stabilizers w antidepressant until a hospital visit for mania in Nov of 21. So, the dr insist I try Lithium, (after they gave me heavy doses of Zyprexa for a month-ended up pretty depressed). It’s now August and I am still very depressed! Family believes it works because I haven’t experienced mania. I think that is bs to be honest, I just think this is a very drawn out depressive episode. The nurse practitioner (only one available at community mental heath) added 300 mg of Wellbutrin. But I’m afraid the lithium is basically a sugar pill for me, and it won’t keep the Wellbutrin in its place, so to speak. What do you think?
