Dear Mike, (and everybody else, who is interested in)! Lithium is a very old method and it doesn't seem to bee the best treatment, by the way. Instead of this, you should try a pill which treats the serotonin- recipients in your brain. For example "Gladem" or "Prozac". Please talk about that with a psycho-therapist first. I hope these informations are helpful for you. Greetings Udo Schneider, alias "softice", softice@thenet.ch
