In reply to Do mood stabilisers block antidepressants?, posted by maz81 on June 2, 2008, at 7:34:57
Some mood stabilizers (lithium, lamotrigine) are used to augment antidepressants, so not all mood stabilizers block the efects of antidepressants. They may prevent hypomania to a certain extent though, and some bipolars may be used to having a somewhat hypomanic response to antidepressants. I sometimes want to come off my mood stabilizer so that I can feel hypomanic, or even manic again.
