CurlyQ - There is a wide range of antidepressant onset time ranging from 2 weeks for some effect and 6 to 8 weeks for full effect. My clinical perception (which may or may not be accurate) is that when used as an antidepressant, lithium takes about twice as long to work than when the drug is being used for mania.

I guess what I am saying is, "I dunno."

Good luck - Cam
