> 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.
Thanks, Paul. I also take Synthroid for hypothyroidism, and I'll want to make sure I get my TSH checked even more regularly. My PDOC is going to call me today to talk about it all. I missed his call to my cell phone on Friday by a fraction of a second, and he left a message then immediately split for the weekend. I hate it when that happens, lol.
