Hi sedona, I don't know if I shared this with you already but here goes:
I went on Depakote, I gave it a very fair trial at 3 months. I lost hair a lot and gained 30 Lbs in a month. The only mood stabilizer I take IS Lamictal and it works for me-always has-I went off it for a year and just started back on it about 3 weeks ago and I am already feeling the beneficial effects once again. I would definately talk to your pdoc, but these are just my experiences-hope this helped ya:-)??

> Hello again-I have been taking Prozac and Wellbutrin for over a year and feel that they have increased my mood swings and made me extremely irritable. I am pretty sure that I need a mood stabilizer. Depakote has been suggested but since I have already gained so much weight from Prozac I am scared to try it. I know that Lamictal is supposed to be great for bipolar depression and as an adjunct to other mood stabilizers, but has anyone had success using it as their only stabilizer, either with or without another antidepressant? thanks
