> > Hi Cee think it works pretty quickly depending on what its being used for. Bipolar usually works in two weeks or less to stop mania. Don't know what your taking it for. Don't forget the blood levels to test for the levels of lithium. Good luck Phillipa

low doses of lithium are used as an ad augment but doesn't feel helpful for anxiety. I think neurontin would be better for that.
