Coming of Meds Rapidly

Postby huddy402 » Sat Sep 08, 2018 4:32 pm

Due to change of insurance change and cost, I'm having to come off 2 medications in a 1 month time frame. I am 1/2 way through that month. I'm having severe mood swings, anxiety, headache, fatigue, sleep problems. (Just about every symptom you can think of) I see my psychiatrist next week. Below is what I take now. I took lithium for a couple of weeks one time but it made me severely nauseated. Does anyone know if the nausea goes away in case the doc wants to put me back on lithium? I have no idea what the doc is going to try to put me back on. The only thing I know of that is not so expensive is the lithium and I am so afraid to take it. I'm just trying to be a little informed before I see my doc.

Currently taking Topamax 100 mg, Lamictal 200 mg, Trileptal 600 mg, Latuda 120 mg

The Latuda, and Trileptal are what I am having to come off of. I'm down to 40 mg of Latuda and 300 mg of Trileptal

Lithium is great for many people. The bigger issue is quitting these meds like this. It's a shame your insurance is doing this because you may need to go to inpatient if things get worse.
Be kind to everyone you come across because you never know who’s suffering inside.

Reason: Do not advise other members not to take their medication as only a professional they see can do this. No one here is a professional.
