In reply to I need some help with info on mood stabilizers?, posted by 4mygrls on June 27, 2004, at 18:58:41
Have you tried any anti-psychotics? They are often good mood stabilisers. Actually the best one I have ever been on is an oldie - Thorazine. I was on a low dose and it helped a lot. It will help you with the agitation and irritability. I started at a dose of 25 mg and stayed there. Sadly, I lactate on anti-psychotics but most people wouldn't, especially on such a low dose.
Take care and don't give up!
