In reply to mood stabilizers are making me more depressed !, posted by Sigolène on November 14, 2001, at 10:46:01
Tried Lithium for ONE DAY and felt so horrible I could barely function.
I've been on Lamictal for about a month now, slowly working my way up to 100 mg. It did seem that after each time I increased the dosage I would feel worse -- more ups and downs. I thought it was my imagination! And things would level off after about a week. But when I got up to 50 mg, the anxiety and agitation was extremely severe.
I finally added Serzone (was trying to avoid it because I thought it would make me too fatigued). It has really helped; the anxiety is almost gone, and I am not any more tired than I was before.
Lamictal may be worth a try, and then add some kind of AD to it.
good luck,
cindy
