You know, I was thinking the same thing, but was worried about responding as well. Didn't want to overstep. I thought lithium was for mania? I know meds can be very wrong sometimes; for example, I was on quetiapine, an antipsychotic, for three years, and I have no idea why because I'm mostly on the depressive end of the scale so that only made me feel like there was a concrete block in my head. So I came off that and was prescribed lamotrigine instead, which is an enhancer, and that has really helped me a lot. It is worth talking to your psychiatrist about this, for sure, to figure out what other options you have in terms of medication. You shouldn't have to feel this way, Achy Turtle Armor.
