In reply to mood stabilizers are making me more depressed !, posted by Sigolène on November 14, 2001, at 10:46:01

In my experience it's not the "mood stabilizer" that makes me feel worse. It's the side effects. I feel great on Lithium, but I have such terrible skin and hair problems, that I have gotten very depressed. Tegretol did a fine job of smoothing out my highs and lows, but I physically felt awful. I had stomach pains, constipation, heartburn, headache, dry mouth. All those side effects made my life miserable. Hence I got depressed.I just wish I could find a damn mood stabilizer that did cause such painful side effects. I would have it made!
Good luck to you
