> aka wiresurgeLot of answers lot of possable confusion.First linkadge must not have read u correctly,you did not not say effexor was,but mentioned how mood stablizers are often used WITH it.
Honestly its a term created,and it is kinda in a lamon way exactly what its title says.Its meant to balance out moods,from either to amped or to depressed.
A majortiy of them are anti-convulsants,anti-seizure drugs since they have a calming effect on brain activity.
HOWEVER other drugs are used off label for the purpose of stablizing and well are in the pack and mentioned along with them.
Dont know how informed the link was,but without getting technical thats it ina nutshell.The middle of a see saw,pretty much.Im not even sure if its anything other than a name just created for what it does,no more.
