> Did lithium dry you out also?
Yes, very much so. I have to drink tons of water. I think that helps a little bit. It's funny though, in my teens I took loads of lithium with no drying side effects at all. Go figure!

SSRIs, Tricyclics, AEDs... you name it, I have trouble tolerating it.I don't have too much trouble tolerating the AD's in terms of side effects. I just can't take them due to hypomania, agitations and short fuse etc. It's the AED's that do me in. I am sorry you are having trouble with meds. It's so hard to find a balance between stability/happiness vs. side effects!
Are you drinking enough water to flush yourself out?
