I am not sure which of these is a symptom or side effect from my meds but they are troubling. I just want to know if anyone else has these problems. I am taking Lamictal, Lithium, Vraylar, temazepam, and klonopin.
Memory - it sucks. I can tell someone something and then 30 minutes later tell them the same thing. I forget most things people tell me. Seeing things - I see things and movement but it is only out of the corner of my eye. It is startling as I think someone is there but when I look no one is there. Balance issues - I can be standing one minute and then almost fall over. Also walking stairs can be tricky. Hand tremors - pdoc is pretty sure that is from the lithium. Head aches - not terrible but annoying. Focus - hard to make myself focus. Concentration - can't read a whole document in one sitting have to break it into small chunks. Forget about reading a book I haven't done that in a year. Please let me know your thoughts. |

I've had some similar side effects. I discussed them with my pdoc and we adjusted some dosages. Have you talked to your pdoc about it? Lowering lamictal at the time made a huge difference for me.

We have tried lowering meds and my mood drops but the symptoms/side effects remain.

That's a lot of meds and some pretty sucky side effects especially the balance issues. Perhaps one at a time try swapping out for different meds. There is a med that helps with hand tremors.
