I've tried Lithium, Depakote, and Lamictal for a mood stablizer. All they did was make me more depressed. Yeah, the hypomania (which I loved) was gone, but so was every other feeling except for really bad depression. 98% of the time I have no will to do anything even live and then I'll one morning wake up and feel like cleaning like crazy the whole day but still feel depressed. Then the next day it's back to bed ridden depression. I don't think any of these have "stablized" anything. I'm completely flat and feel no love at all on these meds. For me, they take away the good and leave the bad.
