Hi.
> I know this is not new news. Also, you may have already have tried this (not sure because I've only been here a few months). Last but not least, I am on the lower end concerning technical knowledge of the meds.
A little knowledge can go a long way if used judiciously and the intelligence to be found in the uncommon use of common sense. The most brilliant of ideas can come from anyone, and I appreciate your kind input.

Unfortunately, lithium hurts me more than it helps. I feel worse on it, plus the added flattening of affect, increased passivity, and lack of creativeness. Just blah.
> I've read some good success stories concerning MAOI's and lithium
Yes. Adding lithium to Parnate had been a frequently used strategy before the SSRIs came along.
I'm glad you are responding to treatment again. The choice of lithium shows some very good clinical practice.
