Does Lithium have calming/antianxiety effects?

Posted by Kev on January 27, 2000, at 21:20:02

I was wondering if anyone out there who has actually been on Lithium could share their experiences on whether this drug has any calming effects. I find it impossible to sit still (to quote Grandpa Simpson, "I've got ants in my pants"), get easily irritated and frustrated to the point where day-today functioning is no longer possible, etc. My doc has intimated that he wants to put me on Lithium (not because of these complaints, but because he believes me to Bipolar Type 2).
Looking forward to your replies,
-Kev
