By the late 1960s, lithium became the drug of choice for treatment of manic depression. Today, lithium is one of the most reliable drugs for lowering the manic high of bipolar depression. Lithium has proved an efficient treatment for mania with a response rate of 60 percent to 80 percent in classic euphoric mania cases. It is also sometimes used in treatment-resistant unipolar depression. Lithium is commonly taken as a salt, lithium carbonate, and is sold under a variety of brand names (Carbolith, Cibalith-S, Duralith, Eskalith , Lithane, Lithizine, Lithobid). Not only is it unique for calming the manic phase of depression, its chemical structure and properties are like no other antidepressant. [Pg.76]

Lithium carbonate (Eskalith) is the most commonly used salt of lithium to treat manic depression. Lithium carbonate dosage forms are labeled in mg and mEq/dosage unit, and lithium citrate (Lithobid) is labeled as mg equivalent to lithium carbonate and mEq/dosage unit. Lithium is effectively used to control and prevent manic episodes in 70 to 80% of those with bipolar disorder as well as to treat other forms of depression. Those who respond to lithium for depression often are those who have not responded to TCAs after several weeks of treatment. When giving lithium in addition to their antidepressants, some of these people have shown significant improvement. [Pg.872]
