I'm kinda worried about taking otc drugs while I'm on so many prescription ones... I feel like my liver is already dealing with enough. But what do you do when you've got a killer head ache, or a cold? I feel like I'm popping pills constantly!!!

I talked to my pdoc and he said I could take Tylenol or Advil because my levels are okay. Check with your pdoc, get him/her to check your levels and ask him/her what you can take.

Are talking while on Lithium???? It's real tricky. DO NOT take ibuprofen. Before you take anything ask your pdoc. Lithiumm is a pain in the butt w/ OTC drugs.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
