Hi
Does anyone out there get this searing, burn feeling in their scalp and skin when they get on a regular dose of a mood stabilizer? I had to get off Depakote, neurontin, tegretol, lamictal, etc, etc because this burning would occur. And over time the pain gets so bad, that is all I focus on.Well, I just switched to Klonopin from Valium a week ago because I was having alot of mixed stated, rages, etc (I am bp2, rapid cycler, managing on Li as a stablizer). I really like Klonopin and think it's superior to valium for mixed states and in general. But over the last few days, the scalp thing has come back! I can't be the only one experiencing this...and what is it? Why can't I take a med that calms and evens me out without physical pain? I hope I don't have to go back to the Valium, becuase it had stopped working.
If anyone has ANY thoughts I would appreciate it.
Chloe
