I've noticed on the board that not many of you take Lithium. Why is that? My pdoc says it and Lamictal are the gold standard. If that is the case why aren't more of you on it? (Not judging just curious). I had my third week of blood work today. Thyroid function, kidney levels and Lithium levels. I really haven't noticed a difference in my moods on the Lithium but maybe it's due to cutting my Cymbalta from 120mg to 60mg in the past month. In fact I was so depressed yesterday I went to bed about 2pm. I'm also having severe diarrhea! I know, TMI!

There are a lot of meds you guys are on that I've never heard of. Just looking for some info. Thx!
