In Reply to: What are some of the side-effects being experienced with Lithium? posted by Rider on March 18, 2000 at 23:05:02:
I seem to be the "Rare Bird" when it comes to severe side affects from the different medications.
Lithium wiped out my short term memory, It took 15 years to get back where I can trust my own memory at all.
I am a documenter for that reason and have the Doctors notes here in my Medical (Tome) records.
The Shakes as previously mentioned, is possibly a side affect of over medication or long term pain Medication use/Abuse, When I use to take Talwin (from 1982-1989) I had the shakes so bad I could barely feed myself. Being drug free for 10 years has changed that back to normal, I do get right side Tremmors during #10's but that is the only time! Sailpappy
