So I was having the strangest tingly/ “pins and needles” feelings, especially in the evenings after dinner, mostly in my arms and legs and sometimes in my face.

Went to GP, complete blood panel, comes back as low T4 and high calcium.

I have heard from others on here that Lithium can be a thyroid killer. What would you do? I am going to talk to pdoc and make sure he receives the blood work results. I’m thinking about asking to try a different mood stabilizer than Lithium if my thyroid might be going bad.

But I have had bad reactions to Lamictal (allergic) and Topomax (confusion). Depakote is a weight-gainer and I’m already obese. I’m already on a high dose of Trileptal. Are there any other mood stabilizers even out there???
