Lithium should do it for you, or at least take the edge off. I'm at 600 but have been as high as 1200. It made a difference for me, thought It's important to remember that you can never get 100 percent "better." Lithium enabled me to get off of Lexapro. SSRI's are tricky business. They're not addictive per say but they do give you a rebound effect when you discontinue. It took two to three months for my brain to stop "wanting" Lexapro. Lithium did not affect my weight. I's the urination that bothers me. It hits me like a turned on hose. Anyhow, you're doing great and I am inspired by your posts. One aspect of psychiatric illness is it is very, very common. We just have to keep soldiering on.
