When I stopped taking lithium so I could start taking NSAIDs regularly- safely, I did it abruptly. I had been taking a lot of Advil on and off, so my levels were probably pretty high/toxic shortly before.

I've been off since around that time, and have been feeling nauseous, sickly, and getting dizzy. I almost fell a few times yesterday. I may be withdrawing from the lithium (which has happened before) and/or have a ear infection (started sleeping with ear plugs all the time since we moved). IDK.

I may be hypo too, which is a definite possibility because I stopped taking the lithium. But I can't tell for sure because I stopped taking Klonopin because I've been feeling off, so my anxiety's really high.

I guess I should try to get an appointment with my PCP today.
I see my pdoc tomorrow. She knows me well and should be able to tell by talking to me whether or not I'm hypo.

I'm a mess.
