For the past couple of weeks, I have had bruises just show up on my body. My left arm is covered in them, I have some on my chest and both legs have bruises.

I am currently on Lithium 900mg, and Lexapro 30mg. I have been having some major side effects on the lithium: nausea, dirrahea (sp). It has been making me very sick. I emailed my old T since I had been on 1200mg of lithium and he dropped me down to the 900 but it hasn't helped.

I went to the ER Thursday night and had my levels checked - they were fine. They gave me an IV for fluids because of going to the bathroom so much. They took my blood pressure and right after they removed the cuff, I started getting a bruise.

They found nothing wrong with me after 4 1/2 hours at the hospital. Today I have a brand new bruise on my foot. I have no clue why this is happening to me. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.
