Doc said I low on elektrolytes, so I've stopped drinking soda all together, and have switched to Gatorade, and water with those tiny elektrolytes packets, and iced tea. That did the trick, it was that easy to solve. Haha. They said I didn't have you UTI, no liver or kidney issues either. So I'll wait this out, hopefully they disappear now that I've stopped drinking on the weekends, and stopped my soda intake. Honestly, I needed to change my liquid intake, especially drinking a 12 pack every weekend, that's inviting trouble. Plus, I can still do the other thing I do once a week. So all's very, very well.
Also, I'm on a new drug for my PTSD, it's Prazosin, a blood pressure medication that is an alpha blocker. This weekend I started taking it. Man, I'm going into rem sleep again, having really interesting dreams, mostly sad, but it is what it is. But even better, I sleep extremely well now, and wake up cool as a cucumber, like my vagus nerve is stimulated. Just completely relaxed. I love this drug.
I think, because of this drug, I might try to get off Remeron and Doxepin, and if I get off those, I can get off Trileptal, and so all I'll need to take is Geodon and Prazosin, and I'll go back to my healthy weight again, that will be that. For the first time in my life, if I wake up late at night, or in the morning, I can fall back asleep. I'm going to take everything as directed for now, but when I see my pdoc, we're going to have an interesting discussion on my new possibility. =)

Yeah the first thing that came to mind when I read the low salt thing was the trileptal, I’m on it too and I know that can be an issue with it. I hope your symptoms go away
