mood stabilizers -

Posted by PuraVida on March 20, 2003, at 15:26:01

I'm trying to figure out if I actully need a mood stabilizer. I mainly have problems with depression and anxiety, and when the depression lifts I do get "on with things" but get burned out quickly. Its like I only have so much steam - I have a great day one day, but not two in a row.
I was taking Neurontin and had headaches, now Topamax and I can't stand the numb feeling I get in my face from just 50 mgs. I am wondering if the reason I am getting such bad side effects is because I don't really need it?
My doc insists that I stay on a mood stabilizer - I'm wondering what to go to next - maybe a "lightwieght" one since I really am not having any problems at all with even being slightly hypomanic (don't I wish!) I have at times not taken the Topa at all, and find that there is really no change, or I am just as depressed as usual.
Any ideas? Thanks -
