Anyone have input on Lithium in small doses as an augmentation strategy? Side Effects? Good or Bad? Acne? Hair loss? Whatever

Scroll up a bit. I started a "thread" on this topic a couple of days ago. I, too, am wondering about lithium as an augmentor. I think it is the next step for me, but have been resisting it for a few years now.

I take 600mg with Parnate. It's worked well. It's a very well-established augmenting agent.

Side effects:
acne (not too bad, using clindamycin)
urinary frequency (getting to be annoying)
possible attention problems
