Thanks for the input.. I feel a little better about my decision to try the Lithium by itself. My old PDOC suggested I might have some bi-polar tendencies (and bp runs in my family), which is why he gave me the Lithobid. Unfortunately I was also swtiched to Effexor at the same time with bad results, so stopped both and went back on Celexa.

I didn't feel I was getting the relief I needed from Celexa (nor any of the other meds I've tried like Paxil, Zoloft, Pamelor, Wellbutrin, Prozac and Depakote.) His next move was to try me on Neurontin before he retired, but I decided against anymore med trials till i found a new doc.

Incidentally, I've never had the rapid-cycling that can go with BP, so I was probably more unipolar.

In any event, I feel a little calmer today and I seem to be able to focus a little better than normal (could be placebo effect).

So I'll see what happens in the next few weeks till I see the new doc.
But if any one has any other comments, I would love to hear them..
Thanks!
