Yes, lithium helps my anxiety. I'm on 600mg so far. At this dose it doesn't get rid of it completely but it does help.

Hi, david!
From the literature on lithium:
"Lithium limits the amount of norepinephrine that the body can process, which decreases the severity of the anxiety symptoms caused by the body's fear response."
If you Google "lithium and anxiety" you'll get quite a few hits although some are pretty technical.
If you'd like more information on lithium this should help:
