If you are so convinced that you are not bipolar, why have you been taking lithium at all. I am *sure* that using lithium to augment antidepressants in unipolar depression is often a successful strategy. If this has been the rationale for using it, would not this rationale also apply to other “mood-stabilizers”?
Sorry, gotta go…
