Strange bipolar symptoms

[Jeshu]

Along with the 'normal' symptoms of bipolar I suffer constantly from overly sensitive feet and tingling pains inside of my head. Is there anyone else out there who has these or other strange symptoms?

Have you talked to your Pdoc about this? I have to wonder is it's a side effect of your meds?

As for me, when I have withdrawn suddenly from Paxil (WAYYYYY don't reccomend this!), I get what I call buzzing. It doesn't hurt, but it does affect my equalibrium. I get in in my head and extremities, mostly. Very disconcerting!

I had these symptoms well before I went on any meds.

(Yes I have talked with my pdoc about it but haven't received much clarity on the subject. Just a vague kind of acknowledgement of the fact.)

Oh, I just LUUUUUV vague nonsense!

One thing you might try is a web site called Crazymeds.com or something like that (speaking of vague! lol). I hear it's a really good site. I don't know if it will help you or not?

I have to say I do but, I have Fibromyalgia. This comes with arthritis. My feet hurt so bad I can hardly step on them sometimes. Also, When I wake up, I have to be helped to my feet because the pain throughout my body. But, The tingling goes through my head, arms to hand, and legs, down to my feet. I don't sleep at night because of the pain, it wakes me up and my husband has to wake up to turn my over. Have you said anything to your doctor because alot of meds do that . They make your head tingle and also some meds bother the muscles in your legs and you feel it in your feet. Hope you find out soon! Peace and GOD BLESS!!!

What medication do you take for your bi-polar condition? Are you bi-polar with pyschotic features, that is do you become delusional when you don't take your medications? I am a mental health case manager.

I'm on Sodium Valproate for my moods and on Abilify (Aripiprazole) for my psychotic episodes. And yes I'm down as schizo-effective. (I had these symptoms before I went on any medication.)

My mind goes back and forth always with " my children and husband will be so much better without me, all I am is a constant pain to them." And I actually make up excellent reasons as to why I shouldn't be here. I start writing letters to each of my 4 children and then my husband and I have 7 brothers and sisters and my mom is still living. By the time I get to writing to each child, I'm hysterically crying. ( I also have physcotic episodes ) Anyway, My meds are serequel for Physcotic episodes and for the bi-polar I have Trimictal. It takes a long time to get up to the amount of miligrams your supposed to be on but, I have Never felt "I"M BACK!!" like I do with these meds! I hope this helps. Oh, certain meds ( even depressants make you more suicidal).Peace and Love.. GOD BLESS you always!!! Zita123
