Lithium and Depoke....


Question Posted Wednesday June 18 2008, 9:56 am


Okay,

I take Lithium and Depoke. (Lithium being an anti-depressant) I often go on and off my medication. I was off my medication for a few months and I just recently started taking them again but the night I took my medication I was fine. However the following morning I woke up in a pool of sweat, dizzy, my heart was racing and I threw up five times. I started to take my medication on a low dose too. Does anyone know why I might have exsperienced these symptoms and why I was so sick?

Ok, so do you go off and on your meds because of your own choice, or because your doctor tells you to?
If you are doing it by your own choice ("Oh, I'm feeling fine lately. I don't think I need to take my meds right now...) that could be why you are having a reaction.

The best person to ask is the doctor who prescribe these mediations to you. I advise that you do just that.

I would imagine that you just have a virus or something and that is what caused you to be ill and you should be fine again soon as starting medications that you have already been on shouldnt cause this, especially if you're giving your body time to get used to it by using a low dose.

However, if it continues like this for more than a week say, i would go to the doctor because it could be your body reacting against the tablets and you should get different ones.

I hope this helps and I hope you feel better soon!
