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.
i take lithium and buspirone along with other meds for bipolar disorder and border line schitzophrenia but I havnt had either medicine in about 5 days im feeling fuzzy/cloudy headed, shaky, blurred vision and voice im also having hot flashes are these symptoms from not having those meds?
I can understand your problem. Lithium carbonate is a mood stabiliser drug. Buspirone is an anti anxiety drug. Both drugs are safe to be taken together. But overdose of lithium is known to result in dizziness, ataxia, cloudy head, shakiness, blurred vision etc side effects.
If you have developed the symptoms after starting the drug then better to talk with your doctor and discuss about the management.
Thanks and Take care
