Greetings everyone,
I have had the following symptoms for the past
2 yrs. which I attributed mostly to a really
bad clonazepam withdrawal. Not all of them
were concurrent.The drs. I have seen have provided either
conflicting opinions, or just ruled out what
is NOT the cause - e.g. diabetes (which is nice);The symptoms:
- peripheral neuropathy in both hands and
wrists (I thought carpal tunnel, two docs said
no; one said hypothyroidism);- coated tongue
- diarrhea almost every day
- burning head sensations with sweats every night
- fatigue
I spoke to my doc. about li dose and was told the
dose is in normal range. However, since nobody
can do anything about these symptoms, I was thinking
of perhaps dropping a lithium (300mg out of 900 per
day) may every other day for a week, and see
if there is improvement, esp. in the numbed hands
and diarrhea dept.I will let you know how it goes. The thing I fear
is that the Synthroid I take may go up relatively
speaking.Squiggles
