ed-- thanks so much for posting back! even if no one can help, it's a comfort to know that someone is listening and that i'm not so alone. here are the meds:
-lamictal-- 100mg/day (titrating up)-- BP disorder
-zoloft-- 50mg/day-- depressive episodes, possible OCD
-ativan-- 1mg three times a day (tid)-- anxiety and to take over for propranolol
-xanax-- 1mg tid-- panicky anxiety
-klonopin-- 2mg at night-- sleep
-vistaril-- can't remember the dose or the reason for this one
-adderall xr-- 30 mg in the morning-- ADHD and lack of energy
-adderall immediate release-- 15 mg late afternoon
-protonix-- 40mg twice a day--ulcers and reflux
-ranitidine-- as much as needed-- more stomach meds
-penicillin-- for now b/c of poss. throat infection from the injury
-percocet-- 7.5/500, 1 pill every 4-6hrs-- pain
-darvocet-- 100/650 (?)-- 1-2 pills every 4-6hrs
-vicodin ES-- 1-2 pills every 4-6 hrs
(note: i don't take percocet, darvocet, and vicodin all at once; i usually pick which one to take according to pain severity and need for cognitive clarity)
-reglan-- 10-15mg four times a day (bad nausea and also for GI motility)
-propranolol as needed-- tremors and muscle twitches from lithium
-ortho-cyclen (current dc'd till mood stabilizes)i think those are all. as for the other stuff, i don't touch NSAIDs because of a bleeding problem, i'm not on any blood pressure meds (except propranolol), never taken diuretics. kidney function tests are at the upper extreme of reference range, but if you factor in weight (45 kg) for things like creatinine clearance, a serum creatinine of 1.4 could be significant, i don't know. electrolytes were just a little off-- no huge sodium or potassium abnormalities to account for such a big change in lithium level. i can't remember if you had other questions, but that's all i can think of for now. thanks again!!!!
