Hi again.
I really couldn't find anything convincing on either Medline or Google regarding the use of lithium for SAD specifically. It is sometimes mentioned casually, but no real statistics seem to be available. Anyway, if I were in your position, and I had not yet tried it, I would still give lithium a try. You obviously need a mood-stabilizer when antidepressants are given. Which ones have you tried? I do think you need to explore MAOIs. I don't know why your doctor is so resistant to the idea. Parnate + lithium is often a good combination.
Good luck.
