My new psychiatrist wanted to put me on Lithium - which I refused. Instead he put me on Tegretol which has lifted the depression but made me manicy.
I'm sure he's going to try and convince me to try Lithium but I don't want to gain a huge amount of weight. Thanks!

Never mind - I found out its for mania. I guess he didn't hear me when I said I'm always depressed and only hypomanic occasionally

no, I don't think lithium has helped me. Nothing has helped me though.

Lithium can be used for depression if you google.

My 13y/o daughter just started lithium around a week ago, how long does it take to start to "work"?

I had no weight gain, buuut, I'm not the gaining type so I probably don't count.
