I have been taking lithium for over 6 years. My last significant mood episode was over 4 years ago. I have minimal side effects from it even though I take quite a high dose. Like Tiptoes, I also have a blanket ban on anti depressants having been sent manic on every time I've tried them, even with lithium, seroquel and lamictal as cover. Lithium isn't as good for depression, I find lamictal works better there.
