carlossong Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Hey I was reading sometimes Anticonvulsants are used to treat bipolar disorder as off-label. I can't tolerate Lithium weight gain and excessive thirst and urination all day long. Is it possible he may discontinue my Lithium and put me on an anticonvulsant like Topamax, Zonegran, etc?

melissaw72 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 It is a possibility that your pdoc could change meds. Have you talked to him/her about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
