Avatar n tn I have been prescribed tegretol for my mood swings. I have been on it for years. I ran out about 2 weeks ago and when I went to pick up my medication they would not give it to me because I did not have the money. I have been having explosive episodes on the people I love. Is this normal and what are other side effects I should expect?
Avatar f tn I am also a mom dealing with terrible mood swings. My daughter was on Keppra for 5 yrs and the mood swings were so bad that it cost her her marriage, lost two jobs...not herself. She was switched to Valproic Acid four mos. ago and she was again the cheerful and sweet young woman she had always been, but... valproic acid caused her hair to fall big time (like when you are in chemo) and she gained l5 lbs in 4 mos. Dr. switched her to Tegretol and the irritabilty is back.
1134609 tn?1269272200 Lamictal and Neurontin actually are mood stabilizers. Klonopin is an anti-anxiety medication used as a mood stabilizer. Clinically in general the most effective mood stabilizer is lithium but each person reacts differently to each medication. Seroquel causing mania is rare. My experience with mood stabilizers was different from yours because I responded very well to Lamictal and Seroquel (which is an antipsychotic used as a mood stabilizer).
7463086 tn?1391008763 He is on Latuda (psyctropic- generally used to treat schizophrenia), Trileptal (mood etc - generally used to treat seizures), and Intuniv (generally used to treat attention and impulsivity). I finally got him off the Lithium (mood/depression) and he seems to be doing better and I would like to get him off everything, not sure if that will ever happen, but I am always worried about giving medications to children.
Avatar n tn Abilify is specifically FDA approved for both mood disorders and psychotic disorders. If a person has a mood disorder that would have any type of psychosis as part of it they would most likely need an antipsychotic. Otherwise there are a wide variety of mood stabilizers although only a psychiatrist would understand the clinical specifics.
Avatar f tn Hi, I'm new to the sight but have been doing research on Trileptal and MS. I currently take Trileptal for Partial Seizures (my seizures are well controlled with it) but whenever I miss 2 doses in a row (which I obviously try not to), I experience numbness and tingling in my face and head. I know these are symptoms of MS and I know Trileptal can be used for MS patients to help with nerve issues. I guess my question is should I see my neurologist?
Avatar f tn All my bf does is work and then come home and play video games all the time. I am working but got my hrs severely cut after the holidays so i am home alone a lot. It gives my mind way too much time to think! Im afraid to end up raising this baby alone. Just really need to talk to someone.
3158366 tn?1343598616 I have been extremely emotional lately. It *****. Every time someone says something or does something, it irritates the crap out of me. I'm taking it out on my friends, coworker, my coworkers and especially my boyfriend, the father of my child. It's getting old. It's not like me to be like this. I'm usually chipper, now its more getting irritated and/or start cruing. Anyone else feel like this and does anyone have any advice?

405824 tn?1201817954 Let me introduce my self. I am 43 yo, married for 6 years and I had my second ovary removed at age 37, after already having my uterus and 1st ovary removed in 1998 and 2000. (I also had a lung transplant 8 years ago). I had all the typical symptoms of menopause even though mine was surgical menopause. My ongoing problem is severe mood swings. About 5 years ago I found myself actually hysterical and didn't know what to do.
Avatar f tn I am a 23 years old woman and I have been struggling with mood changes what seems forever. I've never felt "normal", whatever this means. I have never reacted to some sorts of situations the same way other people do. Since I can remember everything starts pretty much like this: I am full of energy, felling extremely well about myself and I usually get a load of things to be done that is above heavy.

Avatar f tn You are most def not alone! I sat at my desk at work and cried ALL day yesterday. I'm only 5 weeks and I hope that it gets better b/c I'm going through a lot of tissue. I just joined this site yesterday and I have found the the women on here are so supportive and full of good advice which has helped me a lot in the past 24hrs. Whenever I feel like I'm about to cry or get upset, I just log on and reach out to someone who knows what I'm going through (another pregnant woman).
1162634 tn?1262990738 I just recently found out i was pregnant, and my boyfriend and i couldnt be happier. But I am always moody towards him, and i am never in the mood to be touched. I am scared if i keep this up, I will push him away.He is already keeping his distance. Does anyone have any good tips for me? I feel awful and I want to be able to control it. Is it possiable that maybe he is just not understanding? and i am over looking everything? Thank You!
Avatar f tn i try and tell my boyfriend that i am going through a lot of changes and i cannot control my emotions some times, he doesn't believe me and says that i need to just deal with it better, how do i cope with these wild emotions and how he treats it all like a joke no matter what I say?
Avatar f tn Haha omg. We talk about everything from the beginning about being pregnant. And all week he just, drives me up the wall! And I'm really sarcastic and mean, it just flows out.. then two seconds later I'm like "oh my god baby I'm really sorry I didn't mean it I love you" hahaha! He understands but I feel bad... hoorrmoonnesss.
Avatar f tn I am six weeks and i am crying and sad over small stuff. Been trying to potty train my two yr old with not much luck. I think that might be part of it. Is this normal to have so early and what can i do to help work through it?? Also will this mean that i will have postpartum after the baby comes? I was fine last time during and after.

Avatar f tn Anyone having mood swings and you just get in this funk to where you just shut down and don't care to talk to anyone?
Avatar f tn But my fiance has been very understanding and just brings up stuff about our baby and my mood goes from a ad and mad to excited and happy. So now I just think about my little baby boy and how I can't wait to hold him and hear his first words and everything whenever I'm getting moody. You could try that. I hope that helps a little.
1759188 tn?1324678308 My drs attribute my anxiety/mood swings to having an anxiety disorder..but after reading all this, I understand why the medication doesnt work. Its really cool to know that we can talk about all this without feeling judged since we are all in the same boat. My family thinks Ive gone insane...they just dont get it.

1128483 tn?1277340286 m feeling a bit on the bi-polor side of things. Has anyone found ways to help with mood swings and feel more like yourselves again? This is the part of pregnancy I hated the most, and with my first I had horrible mood swings the entire pregnancy :( Any foods help? I'm doing Yoga, but it's just once a week class, and with added stress of looking for a job while pregnant, ugh, I just don't know what to do!
