In reply to First choice mood stabilizer?, posted by butternut on May 23, 2006, at 19:54:19
Just an opinion, but I think lamictal is an excellent first choice. I mean, all of the mood stabilizers can be helpful. Since choosing a med really is a guessing game and mileage varies, I think lamictal at least stacks the odds in your favor. For example, when you see statistics that people with epilepsy who were also depressed started lamictal and 86% of them had an improvement in mood, those statistics are hard to find with other mood stabilizers.
