EE, I was curious...
How did you end up choosing lithium for unipolar depression? That's interesting. That's cool it is working for you too. I mean, I know it has side effects, but compared to pharmaceuticals, at least you can say you are using natural treatment.
Anyway, why lithium? Did other meds fail? What history led you to lithium?
