Regarding the Li as necessary to prevent relapse, the pdoc I talked to said he had seen the literature on pamelar + Li, but didn't notice anything earthshattering about it in his patients. The reason I brought the LI thing up is that this pdoc is very sharp and does lots of ECTs so I figured he said the Li thing based on his personal experiences. I'd probably trust him on the same level as the Columbia researchers. Plus, you mentioned effexor + Li so maybe that adds creedence that Li is necessary.
I hope all that makes some sense.Bye the way, who treated you at Columbia (don't say if you don't want). My pdoc was Lisanby.
Bye,
Dave
