[QUOTE="Tiapet, post: 579160, member: 455"] Coming in a bit late on this, sorry. I hope you get that blood draw soon. I really hope his level is ok. Lithium can be harsh! Oldest difficult child went toxic on it and it wasn't pretty at all! She basically hallucinated on it and got quite sick (kind of what you are experiencing but it got a lot worse rather quickly). If it gets worse take him to ER please! She thought her sister was dead, meaning she thought she had killed her even though she was right in front of her she thought it was a hallucination but couldn't understand how or why she was seeing "a dead person". It really messed with her head badly. That was just one of the things that happened. Mind you, the stupid pfacility never did a blood draw for 3 months while she was on it and they were suppose to have done it every single month! After that episode I moved her treatment to another psychiatrist immediately. No way were we going through that again. She ended up off the Lithium anyway because there was no way her body would tolerate it. We had tried it when she was younger and at that time she had problems, though it was different kind of problems, this was far worse! I hope things work out. I know how hard it is for us to handle seeing them go through it but it's even worse for them when essentially they are "guinea pigs" when trying to find the right medications or combo of medications. It's why oldest difficult child doesn't want to be on medications and sometimes goes into medication noncompliance Luckily she's been doing much better, trouble or not. [/QUOTE]
