Hi Karen,
Wow! You say so much. I'm cutting and pasting what I wrote in my last post to katy re: my experience. Because I wrote it and then looked at all those symptoms and it was very similar to what i've experienced.

"**You know what? This derealization I'm talking about is a stupor. I just couldn't describe it until hearing you talk about it. I feel like anything could happen - I could say anything b/c I'm not that in control - like I"m in the back seat observing it all happening. I feel slow and my brain feels pinned down. The thing that has made it worse was the upping of the Lithium. I was a retard last night at work. And then I got really giddy/silly/giggly and then drank too much. Even during the night customers made jokes about how I was drunk when I hadn't touched a drop. I would set things down on things - judgment off - bump into things.""

Karen, I've never had the blood level drawn because we were going to wait until I was at 900mg for twelve days. I've only been at 9 for four days and last night I reduced it to 700mg b/c I am waking up to my stupor (thank god) - yes "trapped in a stupor" is the right way to describe it. You're in such a stupor that you can't scream for help. Give me my brain!!!! and let my be stable as well!!!!Is it too much to ask?
Oh, well. Maybe topamax....
