I hope your Pdoc is willing to couple the lithium with something. I took it for years and did not feel helped until I coupled it with Lamictal. Now it is a whole new game. I know the medication merry go around. I did it for years. My heart goes out to you. Many docs still consider lithium the gold standard. It was the only thing that could pull me out of a prolonged manic episode.
