What causes shakes, swollen feet, difficult swallowing when on medication for bipolar?
human
My friend is taking a medication for bipolar. She is also drinking quite heavy. She now has the shakes, not eating and her feet are quite swollen. When she does eat, she has a hard time swallowing and she ends up throwing up. I am worried about her and I want to know what to do. I don t know the name of the medication. She has been so drunk, she fell in the bathroom and received a concussion. Help!!! She is hiding her drinking now, because she is tired of hearing about us nagging at her.

HiThanks for using healthcare magicMostly bipolar patients are on lithium and sometime lithium effect kidney's function. In that case, first get her kidney function her done. You can also take help of psychiatrist to control her drinking habit. In case, you need further help, you can ask us.RegardsDr. Abhishek KapoorPsychiatrist
