> YOU HAVE TO BE OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND TO TAKE ANTI-EPILEPTIC MEDICINES FOR MOOD DISORDERS

James here....

I think it is pointless to condem a med due to 1 persons bad effects. As I understand it generally
when the traditional AD's fail to control uni/bi polar depression secondary meds like the anti-seizure meds are tried. They seem to work well in those with med resistant depressions. Yes they have side effects...but depression is worse. Ever live with a bipolar rapid cycler ? I have. Lots of fun for both he and I...not to mention constantly having to watch for a rapid down turn and a suiside attempt (to many to count) Traditional meds were of no help...some made the cycling worse. Thank god for the right anti seizure med. Finally I was able to let sharp objects into my life again !
