In fact Lithium was one of the first drugs I was put on and it did nothing for me. (I was on a good dose and was on it for a while.) The only thing it was good at was making me fat! I didn't respond to it at ALL.
Lamictal really helps me because I have really agitated/ aggressive/ pull-my-hair-out depressions and that (craziness) has totally gone with Lamictal so its not an option to get off it. I have tried the other common mood stabilizers too eg valproate, carbamazepine but they usually knock me out. Plus a couple of other less popular ones. Lamictal is the only thing that has worked so well.
But thanks so much for sharing and for your input.
Love
