Keli,
It does suck bigger than life. I was weened off 800 mg/day and it literally took weeks for me to feel better. What's worse is once I felt better from the withdrawal I got the flu, stomach flu, severe sinus infection, etc...I was wondering when they take us off meds do they lower our immunity? I haven't felt good since before I started taking the med.

Eat saltines, drink clear broth and feel better!
Love and (((((hugs)))))

Keli,

I wish I could take the nausea away! I HATE cronic nausea! I'd rather throw up!

That's a good question someone asked about our immune system. I for one would like to know. I know someone on another board who's with drawling from lithium and he has had quite a few bouts with sore throat, chest pains, etc. Very interesting.

Again I'm sorry.

Love,

Jamie

Ohhh, I totally agree.

I feel for you.

I'm on Seroquel for now. At first I thought it was totally working for me, but now I don't like it so much. Among other things, I never feel totally awake. I've tried stopping before for a day or too, but ended up feeling like you do and had insomnia. So, I don't want to take it any more, but am going to until I can afford to go see my doctor again because I need something to help me sleep at night.
