I just went off lithium and now I'm having all these weird heart and breathing problems. I was having problems being sick on lithium but they said my range was still therapeutic, to some people though even within range I've heard it can be toxic. I've had to go to the ER so many times, I don't even know what the financial situation is, it messed with my sodium and potassium levels and now I've been having those issues. They also misdiagnosed me with a UTI, gave me Cipro, it dehydrated me like nuts, and I got respiratory depression. I'm trying to balance everything but I don't know what I'm doing. Has anyone else had an issue like this? I've heard others say chest pain and low HR and I had those, now my blood pressure is really high and my HR gets really high and I have breathing problems, either too fast, or not working at all. And the doctors won't admit me to the hospital because their blood tests say I'm okay, I don't think there's something technically wrong with my heart or lungs I think that I messed up my electrolytes. They never even told me I might have to increase my salt intake to stay healthy. This is awful. If anyone has any advice my ears are open. Also as a note I was on depakote too, then they pulled that and that's when things as far as toxicity started happening. I really feely life is in danger I've been to the ER so many times and they said to meditate ? Now I haven't slept in 48 hours, it was six days before that. Out of desperation I voluntarily put myself in a mental hospital, but they started giving me drugs I'm actually allergic to and it was bad. before but I had a lot more in my system, I can't keep anything down either. I'm taking depakene now and Ativan and they gave me mirtazapine to sleep at night. I feel worried I'll stop breathing though and die. Ugh. And I have epilepsy so when I try to take my Gabapentin it dehydrates me too. I feel like I should take some though. I've been trying coconut water and I have potassium supplements. I have salt tabs as well. I can't seem to keep hydrated enough without pushing out these minerals, and I might be missing others that are important like magnesium.
