I am on lithium and I been on it a while it as helped me get through my cancer which as now gone

Although I’ve never been on lithium and certainly I know you would hope that after five days you would feel something I know for some people it can take longer to take full effect of new medication. I’ve never heard of treatment resistant depression I know that I’ve tried a number of different meds over the years and different combos as well. To be honest I’ve. It not noticed a big difference with any of them to my frustration!
I do hope you find what works for you. I do know some people who got lucky and found the right meds so there is hope! Best wishes sent your way! 🤗❤️

You'll have to give the lithium alot more time to get into your system. Stick with it,I had amazing results that lasted 5 yrs but know people who are still doing well.
What antidepressant are you taking?

If you've any more questions feel free to message me.

@A MyDepressionTeam Member I would give the lithium more time - - 5 days doesn't sound like a lot of time. And I would try to have faith that your psychiatrist knows what he/she is doing...being on 2 drugs is not difficult to have a handle on. It's when your talking 5 or 6 or 7 drugs that it gets difficult. Best of luck to you. I would also look up lithium in mayoclinic.com or anywhere you can check side effects etc. Or even talk to your pharmacist.

If the lithium doesn't work, ask your doc if you can try Lamictal. I take it with Lexapro and noticed a difference within days.
