In reply to Lithium, Diabetes Insipidus, new meds :( » barbaracat, posted by cache-monkey on March 25, 2005, at 13:37:53
Oh wow, what a bad time. Have you had urinary problems before or this a new thing w/lithium? Makes me glad I stick to me guns and not let them increase it, but it still concerns me. Think I'll check out some acupuncture to work on my kidneys.
The microdose Cymbalta is still working beautifully. Some people get good results with Trileptal - don't remember if you've tried this or not. All I can say about Depakote is that it does sedate and does thin out the hair. The sedation you'll probably be able to deal with by tweaking with other meds, but the hair thing... ummm, I don't know. Makes me wonder WHY it makes hair fall out.
By all means, do a search to see what if there are any urinary concerns with DP.
