Lithium is known to enhance serotonin transmission ..... works ratherly quickly in 3 to 5 days ..... and there is no risk of hypertensive crisis. You do risk that with a TCA ..... and having a stroke will definately ruin the rest of your life.

I like the way you think Old School ...... OUTSTANDING AS WELL. Lamictal, like you mentioned, is a GREAT option ....
