In reply to Mood stabilizer for anxiety?, posted by grrovymotion on November 18, 2002, at 2:21:59
Hi there,
Every mood stabilizer I have ever taken has made my anxiety go away (which I had really bad for 6 years). I've been on Depakote, Gabitril and am now on Trileptal. The reason I went of of Depakote and Gabitril is because I started getting depressed. If I added an SSRI though, the anxiety started to come back. The Trileptal has been good so far, but I've only been on it for about a week and a half. Hopefully, it will keep me stable without bouts of depression! By the way, all the mood stabilizers I mentioned are anti-convulsants.
Good luck :)
