> brookeWell good for you brooke! Sticking with it must be a hard decision. But I'm sure you're aware that unless you get to a decent dose for long enough it aint gonna work. 50mg works for me & you're taking just over half that. Maybe the Lithium will enhance it, or possibly even make it more tolerable.
If it was me (which it isn't) I would just say f*** it and go at 50mg & white knuckle it. 6 years is a long time to have had no success with anything so this calls for desperate measures. Side effects should eventually settle given time. Any side effects you are getting on the higher doses should be dealt with accordingly. Most side effects have an antidote.Good luck to you and stick at it. You're certainly a fighter I'll give you that!
