> I have pretty bad social anxiety, and possible cyclothemia. I was on the lithium 600-1200mg daily, more recently 600, now 5 days off completely. The past couple days I've noticed a huge change in my personality, My mood seems much better, and because of that, I feel much more outgoing, easier to talk to people at work, laugh, blah blah...Can the absence of lithium have caused this?

Hi,I'd give it more time; withdrawing from any
drug, especially in the first week can bring
on a stimulated state, sometimes even hypomanic
which changes your outlook and behaviour.Squiggles
