i'm trying topomax. have tried the other ones like lithium and valproate, lamotrogine etc and i ususally cannot tolerate the sedating effects of these. i am also on ritalin 10mg for ADHD and prozac 20mg.
i have just started the mood stabaliser so i hope it helps.
other indicators according to my doctors are
1. hypomanic episodes upon starting ad's or increasing doses
2. hypersexuality even during depressive episodes
3. number of episodes of psychotic depressive episodes
4. presence of co morbid ocd and bdd symptoms
5. onset of symptoms before 10 years
the list goes on and on
i have just been so resistant to taking mood stabalisers as they make me feel so sick. i know i need one and also i know that ritalin makes me too hyper and unstable but i feel more 'alive' on it than off it.
