Hi Mattias hope this is useful.
I am taking 1200mg of lithium along with 100mg Amitriptyline since April '04 after a slew of other antidepressants failed to lift my severe unipolar depression.
From about the first week I noticed that my brain fog began to clear and that I felt better than the previous week. And it seems each week since then effects have been getting better and better. Some sites mention that it can take up to two years to get the full effects of lithium.
For me it seemed to kick in quick and strong and despite the side effects dry mouth, increased thirst, quarterly bloodwork etc I wouldn't be without it.
I hope you too experience the effects I found.
Good luck
