> I have been on lithium for 30 days. Does anybody know through personal experience the time period when lithium reaches its therapeutic dose? I am beginning to get discouraged that lithium will effectively augment my current cocktail of lamictal, prozac and remeron. My current cocktail poops out in the late afternoon and my depression returns.

> FlipsactownWhen i was put on lithium (approx. 18 yrs. ago)
it was 900mg; maybe 600mg and then raised
soon after. It was the only drug i was started
on (benzos later). It worked very well within
a week. Maybe your dose is different or it
just takes longer for some people IF it is the
right drug for them.Squiggles
