> > If Verapamil is used for mood stabilization and is a calcium channel blocker, what (if any) connection is there between calcium supplements and mood instability? Maybe it is just coincidence that I just started calcium supplements and am starting to get very depressed again.
> > Is Klonopin used as a mood stabilizer or not? Some medical articles list it as alternative treatment to lithium, depakote, etc. and most do not. Maybe starting Klonopin is contributing to increased depression. Or maybe I can sleep too long now because of the Klonopin and am depressed that I feel too tired to do anything.
> Very interesting, Susan. Now that you mention it, I've noticed I don't feel as well when I take calcium supplements.Me too.
> Klonopin is not classified as a mood stabilizer, but it is indeed used for that purpose. While some people are clearly helped by it, others become more depressed.
Me too.
