I put 'happy' in quotes because it's just a momentary happiness. But I'll take it over the months of depression I have been in.
I'm looking forward to sleeping tonight - get some relief from this gray cloud. The increased dose of lithium isn't working yet - it has been 3 weeks now. I read someplace that it can take 6 weeks to get the full effect of lithium.

A few years ago my pdoc increased my Lithium to 1800 MG. It still did not help with my depression. I went on Lamictal and once I reached therapeutic level it really helped. I hope you have better luck with your Lithium increase. It may work for you.
