> But, to go back to my original question, if I lowered it to 300 mgs, and with nothing else on board, would I get no anti-depressant effect?

My best guess is that you would not experience a stable improvement with such a low dosage of lithium when it is used as monotherapy. Unipolars can benefit from 300mg, but only when it is used to supplement antidepressants.

Combining Wellbutrin with lithium is certainly worth a try.

In my case, I am using lithium to supplement four other drugs. I did not experience a stable improvement until my lithium level reached 0.6 mmol/L. For me, that represents a dosage of 900mg.
