**Yes, I take 600mg lithium and it works great for me. Have tried lamictal, depakote, topamax but come back to Li every time. Without it I experience hellacious mixed-states. I'm mainly prone to depressions, although I've had some corker manic episodes, so a small dose of an AD helps keeping it at bay.

I truly feel that BPs can benefit from ADs, but at much smaller doses than most pdocs will believe. Lithium also augments most ADs.
