All I would have to complain about is that I'm still depressed. It's not as bad, but it's still there.

I was wondering that since the lithium appears to be working, if he would change it because I'm still depressed? Or maybe he would change something else? What I'm on is in my signature.

Wondering because I know blood tests will be in my future if I stay on lithium and I hate needles.
Lithium does more to stabilize the highs than the lows (at least that's what the pdoc told me). He may increase your antidepressant.
