> My doc thinks that since I have not responded well to AD's (make me agitated or stop working or don't work) that I have bipolar dx (although I have not enjoyed the mania). My mom is bipolar so maybe there's something to it. Now taking lithium 1125mg.
> It's helping with tearfulness but I am still VERY depressed. The doc thinks that the higher dose can work as an AD. What do you all think? Perhaps an AD would work better with the lithium.

My pdoc also told me that there is some data suggesting that higher dose lithium can work as an antidepressant. I was skeptical but never tried it, so I don't know for sure.
