ehygon Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 it's been bothering me for a few hours now, and is getting worse, albeit slowly. its like, a stabbing pain, and kind of bothersome. could this be from lithium? I'm only on 300mg, and havent taken it long, but its the only real change I've had in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenni Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 I've never heard of that from Lithium. If you were on Topamax, I'd say it could definitely be related. A kidney stone sort of feels like a stitch in your side when it starts, kind of like when you've been running too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastafarian Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 lithium is a salt, so i suppose it may be upsetting your salt levels causing a stone. Drink more water. Talk to your doctor. If it continues even with more water, talk to your doctor quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revlow Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 In the patient information, nothing is mentioned under Side Effects; however, under Warnings/Precautions it includes: Tell your doctor if you have or have ever had heart or kidney disease, shock therapy, thyroid disease, dehydration, or low sodium levels. I would call your doc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa_K Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Definately call your doc if you have any sort of kidney pain or sharp pains while taking an AC...it maybe nothing...but its better to be safe...so please contact your doctor as soon as possible to get checked out...Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
