[QUOTE="klmno, post: 189685, member: 3699"] I think it might be medication related- I can't remember all the side effects my son had with lamictol- I know it made him more manic, but I [I]think[/I] there was an issue with sun exposure and heat, too, just like with lithium but maybe more major. And, with lithium, my son had stomach (vomiting and diarehea problems) at every increase. It might not be the same with other mood stabilizers- if it is, it might be that his body is just adjusting. I normally call the pharmacy with medication questions- unless the medications are only the medications prescribed by the psychiatrist. I would suggest a call into psychiatrist on Tuesday. If your son has continuing symptoms or things get worse, I would think that you could call the "after hours" psychiatrist on call and he/she should be able to tell you if this is a common side effect or if there is a bigger issue. Sorry he's feeling this way- I wish I could be of more help.. [/QUOTE]
