I understand you are concerned about your friend, but please realize this is only a message board in which people can relate their anecdotal understanding of medicines to others. If one person doesn't like how she responds to Lithium, you shouldn't take that as signifigant evidence for telling your friend to stop taking Lithium.
I'm not going to say doctors know everything, but they wouldn't be prescibing these meds to your friend unless they thought she needed them.
Let her stick to this combo, have her follow the doc's orders, and give it some time. Some of them won't even show their effect for another 2-4 weeks.
Also, some people need things like Lithium more than others, some don't. It's great if someone can get away without a bunch of meds, but not everyone has that liberty.
