Lithium typically cause anxiety attacks?-Squiggles

Thanks for the feedback, Squiggles. I think you may have hit on something - I haven't yet had a Lithium / blood panel. I thought 600mg was a high dose. It very well could be that the levels aren't theraputic / high enough since I've only been on the Lithium for a couple of weeks. I will check that one out.

As far as the Seroquel - I hope it isn't that either as it really helps me sleep through the night without benzos. I've heard of people taking Seroquel during the day, but have to work and don't want to be knocked out. Do you know - is 150mg at night very low dose as well?

I hope to stay on (have a Pdoc appt week after next) the Lithium and Seroquel. There are a lot of benefits I'm seeing, which is a bit of a miracle after years of trying a lot of different meds. But the panic attacks have to be resolved. It is really unbearable to panic throughout the day, especially when the situations are not dangerous or threatening.

Thanks again for the insights. I really appreciate it.
