Lithium was great for me. It helped a lot with rapid cycling. My only issue was repeated toxicities and I had to go off it after my 3rd. I did try again last winter when I was so sick and nothing was working but at the low dose that I can take without risking toxicity it didn't help that time.

It's worth a try. Just be ready to drink a lot of water; your body needs it.
