[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 143880, member: 2423"] You need to get a blood draw to check if your Lithium level is in the therapeutic window for bipolar (0.8 to 1.2). You should also have your thyroid checked because Lithium is notorious for destroying thyroids, which could account for why you're so tired. Furthermore, Lithium, Abilify, Remeron and Xanax all have fatigue as a side effect. That could definitely be contributing to your sleepiness. Both Prozac and Remeron are antidepressants, which can cause BPers to become disinhibited, agitated, aggressive and manic. I think you should ask your psychiatrist why you need to be on them since they could be destabilizing your mood. Is your psychiatrist experienced with medicating adults with bipolar? [/QUOTE]
