Thanks! I called my PDOC, and will give it a try. He had suggested Lithium, Depakote, or Trileptal.
Hey cybele, the only mood stabliser I have tried was Epilim (Depakote, sodium valproate in the US) I found it turned me into a walking zombie but I must concede that I was chilled out too much but I felt like sh*t and it started to make me sick but I was on other meds at the time. If you do go on a mood stabliser including Lithium or what ever else it may be, make sure you have regular BLOOD TESTS to make sure you don't get a toxic level in your system. People aren't told about this and it's very important. I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery, Paul.
