Hi. I can't comment on low-dosage lithium (300-600mg) because I have never been on it long enough to draw any conclusions.

What is Spectrum Disorder? Is that exactly the same as NOS?

I am bipolar III (depression with drug-induced mania). I am having some success with Trileptal to relieve depression. It is too early in my trial of 900mg to pass judgment, but 600mg did help episodically. This drug works.

Lamictal 150mg
Parnate 80mg
nortriptyline 100mg
Abilify 10mg
Trileptal 900mg
