In reply to Mood Stabilzers w/ calming Antidepressant Action?, posted by TomG on April 9, 2006, at 17:16:38
Years ago I tried lamictal and don't remember much about it except it gave me insomnia and some general dulling effect but really didn't seem to do much.
Depakote extended release 500mg had immediate surprising tranquil calming and motivational antidepressant action beginning on the first day. Weeks later I couldn't tell if it was doing anything and sporadic depressive moments had returned. The calming was great though.
Fogginess and weight gain are common side effects.
