HiT hanks for using Chat Doctor You are chronic case of depression. In that case you have to take medicine regularly. If you are not pregnant, in that case you can again start with lithium and any antidepressant. Blood level of lithium should be between 0.6 to 1.1meq/DL. Below that level, it would not show any effect. You should consult a psychiatrist to optimized your dose, so that you could get better response. In case you need our help, you can connect us. Regards
