Suggest Treatment For Dizziness And Tingling In Arms And Legs

I ve been experincing alot of arms and legs tingling and dizziness almost daily I m currently on Depakote, zoloft, Trazodone, and Visteral for my bipolar disorder and never felt these things before I started the meds, so I m thinking it s got something to do with the meds. I get vertigo alot, and actually had to call an ambulance one time and go to the hospital cuz I was so incredibly woozy I almost passed out and was vomiting alot! Felt horrible.

Hi,

If your symptoms have only on recently after starting depakote then, I would recommend asking your doctor to check your blood concentration levels to be sure that you are not running too high (50-80 is generally considered a good range) while toxicity may start to appear at levels >100.

Now, it could also be your serum concentrations are normal but the drug is simply not compatible with your system or is interacting with other medications that you're taking. These are all possibilities that your doctor can help you figure out.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dariush Saghafi,
