Benzo as mood stabilizer?

Posted by SheilaC on June 13, 2007, at 7:16:38

Can Xanax or Klonopin be used as a mild mood stabilizer? I have tried a ton of mood stabilizer all with bad effects: Lamictil, Trileptal, Depakote, Seroquel, Abilify.
I am also trying desperatly to lose weight and I just cannot afford the ravenous hunger that some of those drugs give me.
I also take Wellbutrin and Prozac. If I take Xanax with my Wellbutrin it really helps me to be a nice person at work and to my husband.
Do I have to keep searching for a mood stabilizer to replace my Xanax? If so, are there any other or new mood stabilizer coming out?
