In reply to Tamoxifen - experience with as a mood stabilizer?, posted by Chris A. on May 10, 2001, at 12:39:46
I am only aware of one study (which you mentioned) that links Tamoxifen with mood-stability, and that one has to do with bipolar mania rather than bipolar depression. I wouldn't try Tamoxifen and risk some serious side-effects based on such poor evidence for its efficacy.
