**Yes, I take 600mg lithium and it works great for me. Have tried lamictal, depakote, topamax but come back to Li every time. Without it I experience hellacious mixed-states. I'm mainly prone to depressions, although I've had some corker manic episodes, so a small dose of an AD helps keeping it at bay.I truly feel that BPs can benefit from ADs, but at much smaller doses than most pdocs will believe. Lithium also augments most ADs.
