Well I been here for two days because low potassium and low sodium levels has been causing me major pain.
They think its due to my lithium or my seroquell maybe. Anyone ever deal with this before?

In May I was in hospital for a day due to Lithium toxicity. They lowered my dose and I have been just fine ever since.
Low potassium AND low sodium - both low at the same time? |

Yes, Could also be a matter of not getting adaqate electrolytes, which is potassium, magnesium, and sodium, chloride, calcium, maybe a few others.
Could be lithium at play. I hope they sort this out and get you well again. Sorry this happened and you are in hospital.  I hope you start feeling better soon.

Do you receive IV fluid all the time?
Is there an REI in your town and someone who can go there to pick up a tasty electrolyte solution for you? |

I, too, was taking 1500 mg of Lithium when I developed toxicity. They lowered the dose to 900 mg.

GNC might have it - try plugging in your address here. If they do, and you can send someone on an errand, get a blue can and drink drink drink. Same at home after discharge. Especially at home because now you are getting the electrolytes from the IV.
