I need some advice on Lithium. I've read the reviews that are pretty positive, but I'm still not sure. I have cycling depression that just hangs on, despite excellent psychotherapy & a hefty daily dose of Paxil. I've been advised that maybe I'd like to try Lithium which may help to stop the cycling & give me longer even periods of wellness. I'm willing to give it a go, but for some reason, the idea of Lithium scares me and I'm worried about unpleasant side effects. If Lithium makes me drowsy, no way will I stick with it unless the drowsiness fades within a few days or a week (or so). Any advice for me?
