Mood stabilizer

Thinking of asking my provider for a mood stabilizer. What mood stabilizers are others on?

Truth be told what works for you might not work for me and vice versa however to answer your question I’m on lamictal

I take a lot of Topamax. It certainly isn’t the best mood stabilizer on the market, but I like to use it because it’s so useful for other things as well. It cuts down on migraines, it helps with weight loss, and it helps with my ocd.

Im thinking about getting a mood stabilizer too. I might be getting a new doctor soon. My doctor now told me if i feel manic i should go to the hospital. He is no help.

I’m on lamotrigine 200mg for a few years already. Helps with depression a lot (I have bipolar type sza but have much more depression than hypomania)

Depakote is widely used in my country, I had the best naps in the world on it. Although it made my morning wood to go away, some initial mouth ulcers and paranoid thinking (weird huh)

I’m on depakote. It works well for me.

I used to be on lithium.
