Starting lithium in 2008 likely saved my life, as it markedly improved my resistant depression. Traditional teaching about lithium was that it was mostly useful for the up pole. That was clearly an error. Recent studies in major depression have shown it as as effective as any traditional antidepressant.
I was on lamictal for yrs. It was useless for my depression
