Hi,
Would there be any interest in a quick and informal rating of mood stabilizers in a LIMITED number of different categories? For now, I want to leave off conventional antidepressants, but probably include atypical antispychotics. Clearly everyone has different experiences, but if everybody agrees that medication X has horrible side effects on top of little efficacy it might be worth knowing! I don't intend to tabulate all of this; it just might be worth seeing peoples' experiences and opinions. I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things! Again, mood stabilizers and antipsychotics only--but feel free to list more than one.
A) Best overall stabilization
B) Best antidepressant effect (mood stabilizers only)
C) Least side effects
D) Worst side effects
E) Worst cognitive side effects
F) Most weight gain
G) Little or no weight gain (or even loss)
H) Best medication overall
