And since the seroquel was binding me up so badly and my fear of repeat bowel obstruction she put me on lithobid. Constipation was #6 on the seroquel list and the few drugs that had it listed even further had weight gain at the top of the list and that is something else I don't want to deal with. My anxiety has been through the roof lately so hopefully the lithobid will kick in quickly and the anxiety will calm down. It's a sad thing that my intestinal tract hated the seroquel so much because the rest of me really liked it. I must admit I was very freaked when she told me she suggested we try lithium, I don't know why but I was.

Hugs & Positive Thoughts Always,

Always good to hear from you, Danielle. Wish you were feeling a bit better. I think it sounds like too much, too soon. You know that we are here to lend you support during this difficult time.


I know for some folks lithium sounds scary, but as long as you keep up with your required blood work, you will do fine.


My teen dd is giving me fits. I can relate to parenting mistakes. Maybe it's real or maybe I imagine it. I think I was too soft on her for too long. Now everyone expects more from her than she can give. Everyone tells me it will get better. I am waiting... Hang in there! Sending P&PT's. Good luck! (((hugs))) jan
