Michael: The lithium was added several years ago to augment an antidepressant. I noticed a drastic effect (very positive) and kept it on board. Lithium has a reputation of losing its effectiveness when stopping and quitting. So, along my journey of med searches, I kept taking it. I honestly cannot tell you if it is responsible for the excellent response I've recieved from Parnate. If you feel your meds are not up to par, adding lithium carbonate is almost always a safe choice. In reasoning this thing out, I feel that most of my positive response was due to the Parnate, since I've tried so many over the past several years (while taking lithium) without good results. Best wishes and keep us up to date, blessings,
