So I was put on Lithium last Wednesday because nothing seems to be working for me to pull me out of this deep depression I have been in for the past year or so. My pdoc continued me on my two of my antidepressants. But I have been feeling a bit hypomanic. I was wondering if Lithium can cause my mood to change so drastically in such a short period of time. I know there is another thread out there on Lithium but any responses would be appreciated.

I found that lithium took 2 weeks to fully stabilize me.
Before I was on lithium, my pdoc changed my anti-depressant from an SSRI to a older tricyclic, at my request, and I became hypomanic. Then he put me on lithium, and it took 2 weeks for it to level out my moods. Hope this helps.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
