Hi. I too was diagnosed (originally) with anxiety/depression and prescribed numerous medications. I didn't respond well to any of them and some of the side effects were unbearable. Then, earlier this year, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I took lithium in different forms for many months. It did wonders for my anxiety and depression, but the side effects, again, made it impossible to take. I definately think it would be worth a try, just remember you need to have blood levels done while you take it. Also, it will probably take at least 10 days before you feel any relief. Hope this has helped some.
