I don't think I have ever been prescribed a mood stabiliser. I'm not even sure why I was given Olanzapine; they said it would make the suicidal thoughts go away, but before long the suicidal thoughts were just bouncing around in my head unencumbered by any other thoughts. The anxiety and agitation caused by this med was unbearable and I was given stellazine to try and counteract that. That didn't seem to help, either.

Thanks for your kind reply. I hope that this clinic will work, too.

Best wishes,
Lyn
