>Lithium makes sense, sort of. But if it isn't helping after 3 or 4 weeks, then you know it is not the one.

I've been taking lithium for several months now. I just recently decided to double the dose from 150 mg twice a day to 300 mg twice a day. I really think I am starting to notice an improvement with the higher dose. So, I would not necessarily say that you know lithium is the not the right drug just because you are not benefiting from it much after 3 or 4 weeks. One, I think our brains can go through some adjustment and healing on lithium, and this may take some time. Two, it may take much longer than 3 or 4 weeks to figure out where your sweet spot is with lithium, if you have one.
