Back to square one. I need to find a mood stabilizer that will keep me even and not so darn mean an irritable.
Lamictal is out due to serious side effects.
Trileptal and Tegretol were ok, but they gave me night sweats and I didn't know if that side effect would go away? Anyone know?
I tried a tiny dose 125mg of Depakote and it seemed to depress me. Would a higher dose be more likly to depress me more or would it give me a boost?
I haven't tried Lithium. That would be a last resort.
Any suggestions on tolerating Tegretol or Depakote? Would either of these brighten my mood? (tiny dose of Abilify seems to work for that).
Is there a mood stabilizer I am not thinking about?
