I take lithium 300 mg.I decided that I would take low-dosage lithium so as to encourage neuron growth and recovery as well as to prevent Alzheimers. I found that it helped improve my depression and evened out my mood hour to hour and day to day. By itself, I do not experience much improvement from taking lithium, but it is doing work in the background. I was desperate. I wanted to give the antidepressants every chance of working. I felt that taking lithium would do that.
Lithium is not a good drug for everyone.
