In the hospital within the last 2 mos. twice. Low salt. It seems that my lamictil, and anafranil (psych meds) are causing hyponatremia, restricted to 32 oz fluid restriction. If I go over, the salt drops and the psych symptoms are unreal. I'm on 6000 mg. salt and 2 lasix a day. Problem is, don't know what is a herx and low salt symptoms are anymore. Stopped antibiotics last month and doing herbal, that 16 oz. of my 32 for the day. the herxes this year for mind symptoms have been too much for me mentally.. My kidney doctor said he will adjust the salt to whatever I need to help me get back to normal whatever that is. Never recovered from rifampin herx (salt coincidentally went down also, thought it was rifampin and in hospital for 4 days.) seems psych meds are causing the salt condition. I am really stuck and am asking for prayers. I know we all need help, but mind stuff is scary and I don't know how to get back. Depersonalization is so great, and ocd. Psych wont take my case because I'm so medically complicated. My llmd wants me back on orals, but I cant tolerate the herxes. I'm not a baby, but I can't believe the places your mind could take you, not that I ever wanted to know. Thanks for the ear , feel good.

Putnam,
Holy cow, you have had your share! I hope that whatever your doctor is doing gets you back on track with the salt levels.
Are they trying new psych meds to help with your OCD and depersonalization? Hopefully they are able to manage that as well......i'm sure that you feel that you are getting a glimpse of hell.
Hang on Putnam...you're in my thoughts.
