Skittles, I'm so glad you mentioned that. One of the questions that the covering pdoc asked me was how my anxiety has been while taking the Lithium. While talking it I have had one panic attack and two almost-panic attacks. I was suprised and scared because I don't really have panic attacks anymore.
I'm not sure if the panic attacks would be directly related to the Lithium or if unconsciously we are just so afraid of side effects and things, that it is causing some panic attacks. If your anxiety and your moods are getting worse, I would definitely call your doc. |

Most often bipolar disorder-- particularly bipolar disorder I-- However it has been found to be effective in the treatment of both bipolar II and unipolar depression.
