trileptal

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?
7463086 tn?1391008763 Also is there any other kids that are on psyotropic meds to treat the mood swings/irritability/aggression? 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).
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.

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 n tn org/wiki/Dysphoria Yep its the flip side of euphoria and I get it as well in mixed state episodes which seem to be common for me I just had never researched it enough to find what it was, though bitchiness could definetly be a symptom - mine are irritability, anger, depression and rapid mood swings for example and irritability would likely be called bitchy in some people.
Avatar f tn Anyone else having mood swings? I am 30 weeks & 2 days and for the past week I have been so moody! Everything has irritated me and when I do get mad I stay mad for a little bit and I hate it.. I try to hold it in but then I explode and feel bad for yelling at husband. I feel like a huge cow, can't sleep, & it's hard to move around. I can't stand my dog either. She annoys the crap out of me..lol. I'm just ready for this pregnancy to be over lol.
405824 tn?1201817954 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. I was to the point where I almost admitted myself to an Emergency Room for some kind of help. I asked my pulmonary doctor for something and he gave me something (I don't remember what) with the stipulation I see someone. I did.
Avatar f tn deep breaths, reminding myself of the biological cause for the anger(hormones + bipolar disorder for me) and listening to music helps me a bunch.

107860 tn?1302926740 Last couple of days, Ive been having mood swings, I want to cry, eat, I get frusterated and I've been getting headaches, for no reason. I'm not depressed or anything, I'm happy.. I've been running to the bathroom alot! full bladder every half hour! my husband and I are trying to conceive.. I'm always relaxed, but why these mood swings??? I want chocolate!!
2207540 tn?1338956718 Hey ladies! So ive been having some really bad mood swings and snapping at my boyfriend for nothing and I was wondering if you guys had any things you had done or are doing to keep yourself calm??
1128483 tn?1277340286 I've been moody too. For me I think it's the lack of sleep and the being uncomfortable all the time that sets it off. I understand the looking for a new job thing. I actually have an interview later today. Needless to say, I've been stressed out and that adds to the pressure. I think that we, as women, take on waaaaay too much. It was never meant to be this way. Can you (as IT) work from home? That might be a good option for you.
741877 tn?1265950200 Is anyone else dealing with having mood swings and / or being grumpy??!? I find myself these days extremely sensitive & irritable!! I don't seem to have the patience I had before ... and at times feel as though I am crying for no reason.. Anyone else experiencing this?
Avatar f tn Weird I havent met anybody else pregnant that is. I think thats What is making the mood swings worse for me. I have to take one low dose of a mood stabalizer bc Im bipolar 2 and just get to depressed. The Medicine though doesn't cause birth defects just miscarriage or stillbirth. It honestly helps but not for hormone crazy just chemical imbalance Lol hey Good luck to you. Add me as a friend if you ever need someone to talk to, I admire you for being off your meds, can be really hard.
1162634 tn?1262990738 My tip is for him to learn more about a womans body changes during pregnancy. Hormones are raging wild and there is NOTHING you can do about it. He needs to be supportive and understanding. It's not uncommon for a woman to not want to be touched at all in the first trimester but for many women the desire for intimate relations comes back full swing and sometimes double time in the 2nd trimester. Maybe you could find some good books for him to read.
Avatar f tn Ugh I have been having the worse mood swings ever. I feel bad for my boyfriend but I can't help it. How do you ladies calm yourself down?
Avatar f tn Just get away for a while take a walk or listen to some soft music..
