Every med imagineable...every side effect imaginable.

Currently just lithium. I pee more so I need to drink more. Sometimes I feel a bit sick. My hair has got greasy and it's triggered some minor anxiety type rashes on my elbows (urticaria/nettlerash). I'm ok with all this though, it's a small price to pay. The other side effect is that I get a sharp pain for a second every week (blood tests).

The more meds you take the more chances you have for a side effects. It is also harder to narrow down the culprit.

My current side effect is that I want to chew on certain peoples brains. Like my dogs do with a bone. But sad to say that is unacceptable behavior so I will have to skip that for the time being.

right now, I ache and am starving I'm not sure which med. I'm on lithium, tegretol, mirtazapine and risperdol

I just started Lamictal. It makes me really tired but also gives severe insomnia, not a good combination! It also appears to make me a bit anxious... hopefully when I get up to the full dose, this will all pass.

I get extreme lethargy (depakote?); sleepiness (seroquel); excessive weight gain (depakote/seroquel/lexapro).

Since reducing seroquel and lexapro, I've begun to lose weight again. Next step is switching from depakote... don't know to what, though -- they all seem to have lousy side effects!

well, I guess i'd count the fact that my years on lithium blew out my thyroid so I have to take thyroid medication for the rest of my life. Also, mood stabilisers led to me developing Poly cystic ovarian syndrome (many many studies on link b/w these) so also on meds for that. Not complaining, just stating way it happens to be.

Lithium made my hair fall out. I had bald spots. Switched to depakote, got some acne but nothing that Proactive can't fix. Zyprexa made me gain fifty pounds. I sent pictures of a trip I went on to my friends and they all thought I was pregnant. Got taken off that drug and I am within my normal weight range again. Seraquel makes it hell to wake up in the morning, but if I take it early enough in the evening I can get up no problem the next morning. If I don't take it, I'll never fall asleep, nor will I calm down. Wellbutrin got my mood swings above the middle line, my doc reduced it and eventually got me off of it, now I am fine. It was just a kickstart I needed to get out of the bottom half of the graph. I have been on lamictal for almost 2 years, seraquel and depakote. Finally, I feel like I am living again.
