For the last two days my entire body hurts, my stomach has been killing me, sleepiness, and I have a constant headache-- but I am not sick; I know that. It think it is a combination of my mental stuff being completely overwhelming and the side effects of the Lithium. I don't know how to get comfortable-- Advil, Klonopin-- doesn't help. I tried to go to bed early last night and I had an awful time trying to sleep. I'm nervous to start my new job on Monday when all I'm doing is running into the bathroom, but I'm probably making my anxiety worse by just thinking that. When the mental turns to physical

I'm so sorry you're hurty. Have you tried a warm bath and some tea? Feel better soon.

I've been feeling sick all week with headache, nausea, chest pains...and so on, but mine is physical. Kidneys have been slowing/shutting down. I am sooo tired!! I've been falling asleep uncontrollably. If you have a bed, go to it and sleep a while. I'd do that if I could. I wish. Or have you tried shopping--even if it's just window shopping? Rent a video or play a video game that you haven't before. The bubble bath sounds good too.

I actually found out today that most of this is probably related to high levels of Lithium in my blood-- I was taken off of it completely-- more about that in the drug forum though.
