Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Does Trileptal Cause Vision Dizziness And Or It Is Due To Lithium ?
My daughter is currently taking 6oomg of Lithium and not sure how much serequol here md wants her off the lithium because she now is on synthroid for a slight hypothyroidism. Her phsychatrist just put her on trileptal 600mg while still on 600mg for one week then continue to ween off the lithium she started Saturday and is already experiencing side effects blurred vision dizzieness etc. is that too soon to be feeling side effects . and what do you think about the trileptal
hello The side effects can come as early as within few days of taking the drug to may be after a month or more. The particular side effect seen in your daughter's case can be due to the.new drug trieptal ; however one cannot totally rule out the role of lithium. Lithium may give rise to some CNS side effects anytime in the course of treatment.
I would sugget that you should fix appointment with her doctor; also get the serum lithium level to rule out lithium toxicity. Do get her kidney test done along with routine blood test. #The hypothyroidism might be related to lithuim use- lithium is quite notorious to give rise to this. ( just wanted to inform you, hiwever you might as well be aware of this.).
take care
