Sounds like we are living similar nightmares.
I take 750 of Li. 900 was too high and I still needed a boost at 600. I take it for treatment resistant depression. I was taking an SSRI and a TCA, but that was not doing to trick. Li did seem to help, but it still didn't bring me to 100% I also eventually needed to add abilify to my mix to deal w/ the depression. One thing that I did notice on Li was that it helped my suicidal thoughts. A pdoc told me that is something that Li is specifically known for. If I were you, I don't think I'd be in any rush to drop the Li/ Get stable first and then worry about it.
Sorry you are going through this. Please feel free to post any more ?'s.
Best,
EE
