Mood stabilizers have proven themselves to be VERY effective in helping to manage certain types of depression.👍 I am HOPING you and your doctor will soon have a treatment plan that works BEST for you❤, because I too, suffer from depression; sometimes severe and know just how OVERWHELMING and isolating it can be.🤗

 

I am wishing you all the best!!!!❤

 

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

It can be very dangerous to stop antidepressants "cold turkey". Please get in contact with your doctor ASAP


@GusMo   You are absolutely correct.  Some very, very serious side effects.

4 hours of restless legs? you're a better woman than I am; I'd have wanted to kill myself after just one hour.

 

Good on you and I hope you never have to go through that again.

I think mood stabilizers aren’t that new, but I could be wrong. I was given Celexa to mitigate migraines. When I’m upset or worried I clench the veins in my head. When they begin to relax again, the migraine is caused by the blood pulsating thru them again. I wouldn’t take it for a long time because it was a mood stabilizer. Once I did I went from 5 migraines a week (totally rehabilitating migraines) to 2 per year! No lie! But, Celexacwas only one that works on me. Never stop trying until you find the one that works.
Never underestimate the power of kindness.
