Thanks so much of all your reassurance everyone. I suppose the most worrying possible side effects for me would be long term memory/brain funtioning trouble and weight gain. I never thought that weight gain would affect me until I went on Remeron and coudn't stop the gain no matter how little I ate or how many times I went to the gym - so frustrating!
jlb121 - are you saying that lithium shouldn't be used in depression as it reduces the absorption and reuptake of mood enhancing compounds? I understood what you were saying but wondered what your conclusions were. Thanks.
