Yeah I haven't tried lithium. I have had a bad reaction to everything else I have tried so far (all anti depressants :effexor, cymgen, cipralex, prozac. Anti psychotics like seroquel, risperidal, abilify and geodon. ECT did nothing. Now my mood stabilizer lamictal is giving me anxiety! ) I'm just so skeptical because all the psychiatrists have been pumping me with drugs
