Sure you can get toxic, but it sounds to me that you're just taking too many meds. Maybe talk to your doc and review
dosages and schedules. I take lithium and toxicity is a serious matter!

I have had the tox feeling with seroquel...make sure you eat with your meds or at least drink some milk...and of course keep in touch with you doc.

Sure toxicity is always an option. However, as a general rule, one does start to feel the effects of medications within 20-30 minutes. Maybe get the hubby to drive you around again. You know that show Driving Ms Worried1

This really freaks me out because I have only been on my full med schedule for 2 mos now and am already producing high readings of liver enzymes. I take 75 mg topamax, 10 mg lexapro, 300 mg wellbutrin and 5-10 mg zyprexa. I also take several vitamin supplements including fish oil, flax, a multi, and a vitamin b supplement. Can't get in to see psych until Dec 27th. Has anyone else ever had this issue?

    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...
