> I want lithium because of its neuroprotective and neurotrophic potential. It is supposed to promote plasticity. Maybe this would help to restore the size and function of the hippocampus. What do you think? Depression has greatly impaired my memory.

>I tried lithium augmentation of Effexor once. The lithium was a total disaster, it brought me down sooooo much. A total mood dampener it was for me. I stayed on it for about eight weeks. Everybody around me said I was terrible on it. After I went off of it though, I found that the Effexor seemed to work better in subtle ways. Not as bad poop out as before. The lithium definitely did something, I dont know what.
I dont think lithium is the med for me, but after I took it for a few months with an AD my ADs worked a little better.
