There is a difficult question that has been bothering me for years. Which is whenever I take a mood stablizer, I would be fumed with major rage.It caused "turbulence of mood", which can be explained as I'm all the more unstable, such as confusion and agitation, than on any other types of meds.
But how come? Aren't mood stablizers supposed to bring stability to your mind?
In terms of severity, lithium ranks No.1，then it is followed by tegretol， Sodium Valproate， and Lamictal. And antipsychotics only lead to a zombie-like state of mind.
I speculate that it has something to do with noradrenaline？All the mood stablizers work to curb mania/hypomania by lowering noradrenaline, the action of which could possibly stablize mood? And my noradrenaline is likely to be already very low?
I do need an agent that could stablize my mood cuz there is clearly mood instability in me. Can any of you guys offer an explaination or solution to my question?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
