Thanks,CE. I think I've pretty much decided not to do the lithium--and not in small part because I lost a kidney last year and am feeling very overprotective of the one that I still have! My upswing was just 2 days followed by the crash, and this coincident with having gone off abilify (because of the weight gain issue) and coincident with adding some supplements, one of which has 800mcg of chromium which is known to cause mood swings.
SO all this to say, I think going back on the abilify is all I need. I was good on it except for the weight gain. Plus I simply don't want the lithium.
