saddest Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 It feels like chicken pox -.- I've only had 3 x 250mg and 1 x 500mg so far - I am itching all over (even up my nose) and there are some sorta ... small raised bumps with pustules. Is this normal while getting on to lithium, do I need to let my pdoc know next time we talk or asap? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpshaw Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I never experienced anything like that from my Lithium. Personally, I would call my pdoc right away, if something like that happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dianthus Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 This is an allergy to something. You need to get yourself and all of your med bottles to urgent care-- allergic reactions are not good. Don't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savannah Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I developed a small amount of itching while on it. I always develop a rash when increasing lamictal (not the bad one). It is bad enough for my gp to give me a lotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddest Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Thanks lovely people. Apparently it's a side effect not allergy, waiting to hear what I can do about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
