(As an aside, I think the hypothesis that LiO2 potentiates second-messenger systems has some merit: I started feeling better three days after it was added to the Zoloft. Of course, this evidence is highly antecdotal ;)) That was my first (diagnosed) major depressive episode, which was more than three years ago... Hmm. Maybe I don't remember me and Zoloft and alcohol as well as I thought. Anyway, like I said, YMMV.
