I’m now on:
Seroquel
Klonopin
Lamcital
Wellbutrin
I was always pretty thirsty before but now I am always thirsty and feel dehydrated. I wake up 2-3 times per night and have to drink as much water as I can out of my 64oz water bottle just to make it through the night.
I have two 64oz water bottles and I drink like 3-4 a day easy. Anyone else have this problem? I’m going to talk to my psychiatrist in two days about it.
Diabetes causes you to be thirsty, and I guess medications can too. Best to talk to a doctor about it. I’ve gotten better about being thirsty and peeing all the time after switching to Abilify.
It is the medications for me. I have had chronic constipation which I’m going to a gastroenterologist next week for finally, and then going to talk to my psych about the dehydration. All the meds are seriously messing me up in that regard.
while saying that, I’ve got to work around the side effects as obviously I am not going stop taking my meds. But yeah this really really sucks bad.
Yes, I am on Risperdal 4mg, wake up everynight with a dry throat. Maybe I am developping Diabetes.
It’s more likely a side effect of the med unless you have other reasons to believe you are pre-diabetic.
Do you know for sure? Did you have a recent blood test?
I had this when I went over 600mg of seroquel. It could be that or one of your other meds.
I’m on zyprexa and have been more thirsty after i started medicating. I noticed that the severity of thirst depends on what dose of medication i take. When I was on 20mg I would have like a desert mouth all the time and felt very thirsty.
Now I’m on 5mg. I still get thirsty at night and need a glass of water on my nightstand. I coincidentaly also noticed that days I have skipped medication for whatever reason I am not thirsty at night and could sleep through the night whitout getting thirsty.
I doubt diabetes is a factor in my case.
yeah it happened when I went from 600mg to 700mg seroquel, and then up to 800mg. I’ve been on a stool softener for a while but it stopped working.
Yes I get blood tests every other month and there’s nothing to point to any issues with my blood work.
You better get it checked out, drinking too much puts it’s strain on the body, at least long term.
That sounds like the issue to be honest.
Thanks for your insight with seroquel. I think so as well.
Seroquel may do that.i m always thirsty at seroquel.and seroquel also may cause constipation.
