Forgot about that one, Caedmoan, yes I did try a brief trial of lithium to "augment" Zoloft, but couldn't take the side effects. It was like get up, throw up, morning sickness without being pregnant. I suppose I probably should have stuck it out longer. When I first got the courage to start the med-go-round (after being depressed for over 20 years) I had a tendency to give up on meds too early, and some that have had minimal side effects when I tried them the first time had much worse side effects upon retrial. It's so hard to know how long to try something for-whether you're giving something a sensible trial or just keeping on with a trial as punishment for being depressed. This whole med game is like playing Russian roulette-swallowing substance after substance with no idea of what it's going to do to your body or mind. Cecilia
