It's still the benchmark for treatment of bipolar illness; but, in my view, the use of
Lamictal is much less troublesome if one can take it. I'd ask my doctor about that
in preference to lithium.

It may not be the devil asking you to stop; it may be your unconscious mind that is
alert to the fact that lithium is the most toxic medication on the market, I was told
by my endocrinologist. Your body may be rebelling against the insult.

There are many others you might like better. I loved Lamictal and took only a very
small dosage to manage the moods.
