I'm currently taking 267.5mg of Effexor XR. I've recently had my diagnosis changed from severe depression to Bi-Polar II, Complex PTSD and as yet undetermined personality disorder (most likely BPD). I've been told I desperately need to be put on a mood stabilizer. A couple of days ago I got some news that really upset and angered me. Just prior to that, I was in a really good mood (not manic), which is a rarity for me. I'm usually just really depressed. But this news really threw me for a loop. Now my moods are changing several times a day and none of them are good. I'm very hurt, I'm crying and I'm very angry. I'm taking it out on everybody.
Can somebody PLEASE explain to me in layman's terms, so that I can understand, how I will feel on a mood stabilizer? What is it going to do for me?
I'm sooooo sick of all this crap. Lately all I want to do is sit in a corner and cry.
