In reply to how is lithium for depression?, posted by cybercafe on March 5, 2003, at 23:32:42

Lithium acts as an augmenter but doesn't have enough punch to act on it's own. It's like a magic potentiator for other meds. None of my ADs work without i. On it's own it's nothing but I really notice it when I don't take it and quickly spiral into an agitated mixed states depression. I'm taking Nortryptaline and lamictal in addition. Lamictal and lithium were not enough to cope with a severe suicidal depression after my mom was killed, hence the Nortrypt. So far, they're all working like a charm. The sum is better than the parts. - Barbara
