I am also using lithium for unipolar depression. I have never had any signs of bipolar, but AD's have not been working for me. I have some family history of bipolar so I'm hoping lithium is the missing link in me getting well. I have been at a therapeutic level (.9) for 4 days now and I don't feel anything except maybe a little bit worse. Hopefully a little more time will do the trick.
