We will be trying Lithium next. I see her next Monday.

I am partially covered by Trileptal, but it isn't doing a good enough job.

I still have to monitor the lymph nodes because it could be an infection, but she wanted me off Lamictal just in case. It comes under the rare side effect category.
I have also been having dreams where I crouch down to do something and can't get back up because my quads give out and hurt too much and I have been having pain in my quads as if I have been doing squats all day. Muscle pain, also listed under the rare side effect category.

I tried Topamax over the summer and had a rare mood reaction which landed me in the hospital.

Apparently, I am extremely sensitive to meds.
