lithium can be a great med for a lot of ppl. since you have had a rough time of it on other meds, why don't you give it a go? they will be monitoring your levels so if you run into a snag they can either change your meds or adjust them. i know it's frustrating to be searching for the right mix of meds. if i were you i'd go for it just to see if it works. it could make your life much more balanced if you respond to the med. hope you will let us know how you are doing...and good for you re the master's program!!!
