Scott,
I am getting ready to throw in the towel and start over with different AD or ADs. I have been on ADs for over 12 years for unipolar depression. Currently, I am on 100mg prozac, 90mg remeron, 400mg lamictal and 1200mg lithium. Lithium was added nearly 3 months ago as I was still getting depressed in the late afternoons. Now, I am depressed all the time. In fact this is the most depressed I have been since I was first diagnosed with clinical depression over 12 years ago. I know you are on lithium and was wondering if I have given it enough time (3 months). The last blood level indicated .4 and so my pdoc raised the lithium to 1200mg to get to the therapeutic dose. It has been over a week since it was raised to 1200mg and I am more depressed than before. I am thinking of asking my pdoc for rx lexapro which I have not tried. What are your thoughts, my friend?
