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?

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.
