I was told by the pdoc that fire me recently that lithium causes no withdrawal. I believe this doc gave me a good dx but somethings he says seems to contradicte what I have read out there. He also told me that lunesta has no withdrawal. That is not what the company says either. When I told him I felt better without the lithium, and that it took about 3 weeks, he basically said I was lying and that is not possible. I was on lithium for unipolar augmentation. I have often wondered if the lithium caused some depression/anxiety in me and affected my sleep. I also had REM rebound when I stopped lithium which he also told me was not true. I don't believe I made all of it up but I questioned myself after he berated me. I am not sure what to think.
