Hello,

I was really hoping to find some advice and help even if it is just to tell me i'm being silly and worried over nothing. I'm a little worried (scared) I've given myself lithium toxicity as i'm feeling really...off.

Basically I've just started a new job which is rather labour intensive which I am not used to at all, I am also sleep deprived and incredibly stressed so I could put it all down to that. However what I am quite worried about is I got incredibly dehydrated at work (over 13 hours) and started to feel really ill even after re hydrating myself I still felt pretty awful the next day and had to be sent home from work. it's been two days now and what I feel like to be honest is utterly hungover but without touching a drop of alcohol. I also feel very dizzy like I've just got off a roller-coaster or choppy boat trip and my roommate has described me as seeming "stoned".

I don't know how lithium toxicity works, google isnt helpful and my pdoc never really told me. Is it a sort of vague feeling something isn't right or is it something you definitely know you have?

I am poor and cannot afford a trip to the doctor unless I am certain something is wrong and i'm not just stressed and sleep deprived.

Thanks for any help! Any and all advice will be greatly appreciated.
