In reply to Mood Stabilizer recommendations... Please!, posted by ricker on November 5, 2008, at 18:34:17
Five suggestions to consider:
Depakote.
Zyprexa low dose.
Risperdal low dose.
Seroquel low to medium dose.
Pramipexole.Depakote and the antipsychotics are obvious mood stabilizers and and when combined with a serotonin antidepressant work synergistically against depression. Kind of like 1+1=3.
I mentioned pramipexole, though it is off label and not commonly talked about, because there is actually a pretty sizable scientific body behind it in support of its use in both unipolar and bipolar depression and anxiety. It has even served as a mood stabilizer and antidepressant all by itself.
