Jan,

I am on Lithium, and after years of trial and error with SSRI's, Lithium has been a godsend. I was apprehensive at first about taking it, but now that I have been on it for 5 months, it's showing no signs of pooping out on me like other meds in the past.

IMO, Lithium is probably one of the best meds for BP, at least for me anyway (not to mention, it's been around a long time, so it has well-documented results). I noticed a change within the first week of taking it. I hope it works for you too, if your pdoc decides to put you on it.

((((((((((Jan))))))))))

Much Love,
Dolfin
