most drugs are a load of crap.. there are vitamins and herbs to stablize your mood and pretty much do anything else

take them for like a week if you don't like it(such as side effects or your own mental idea of drugs) then try vitamins usually at that point a doctor would just prescribe different drugs >.> disregarding natural (safe) ways to help

I've never needed a mood stabilizer. My mood rarely changes.

    I have a daughter who just turned 19 That I dont know and I dont care to know. I hated her for so long because of how much child support i had to pay her mom, I used to want something to happen to her so i didnt have to pay child suport anymore. Now that she is grown up and I am done paying. My shrink thinks it would help me if I tryed to start some sort of relationship with her even if it is a real small one. With the way I am I dont know if I can do this, What if I get mad at her for something, The courts made me leave for a reason. Maybe with these pills it will keep me from getting mad (spikeing). I dont know why she would ever wana talk to me after what I did when she was younger.

Can't say I have experience with it, but if you're just starting it research is the way to go.


"Depakote tablets are available in strengths of 125, 250 and 500 mg tablets. The dose depends on the problem being treated, the age of the patient, and the patient's response to the medication."

So, are you tolerant to it, or is it treating something heavy?

im no doctor like Mr.delta is (=

but here's my advice.  

i have had many experiences from drugs, all bad. from wheat allergies(to which i wasn't allergic in the first place) to anti depressants they all ended badly. i found a different thing that worked for me, i learned to completely control my emotions good and bad. you should try listening to moving songs without being moved, i purposely hung around people who annoyed me just to learn to control myself. there are thousands of things you can do to increase your self-control. harmless things like refusing to swat at mosquito's while they bite you. i use to purposely get in fights for that same purpose(no girls or disabled people though, just those who can really make a person angry). 

its extremely hard and annoying but definitely worth it.

 That's what I was like while I was having seizures. I could feel every sensation in my body, from burning kidneys, to inflamed pancreas, to stomach indigestion x10.

I think I sort of miss my system being unsympathetic. I think I enjoyed the sensitivity however impractical or illusory it may have been, but the energy that goes along with this stuff can't be so bad.

It's been in use since Hippocrates. (probably way way earlier)

Anyways, anyone have any advice? I'm thinking of cutting my valproic acid recommended dose into 1/3, and supplementing with lithium orotate, tiantepine, and maybe piracteam. (I am worried about the piracetam combo though)

I might drop down to plain old valarian root if I start to feel side effects from the harder valproic acid. I mean it has totally stopped my seizures. But I don't like going full bore only to find out I've grown a dependency I cannot drop, know what I mean?

If my sex drive goes out the window I might try a day or two of tribulus, to see how that effects things... (however, I tried it two years ago and while it increased my testosterone, my balls hurt with sharp pain and I pissed blood.)

It is IMPOSSIBLE to find any reliable drug interactions data with the valproic acid though. I'd think there would be way more info out there.

Anyways, WhoamI. 500mg is high, isn't it? Oh wait, I was prescribed 1000mg. 250 x 4 times daily. I think one pill daily is enough, but I will check back in after I have a chance to experiment some more...

I am on lamictal. It works great and has no side effects. I still have moods.They are better then they were. A few years ago I had a very manic episode. I needed drugs. I couldn't function. I had extreme delusions and wanted to start many businesses and was very sexual, emotional and my thinking was not clear. Mania is only fun for a short time.

I tried depakote. I can't remember, I think it gave me a headache. I tried several antipsychotics and mood stabilizers before finding one that worked well for me.

Everyone is different. Some drug have bad side effects.

Yeah it is absolutely fun, mania. I was sustaining mania for a good 8 months, but then I just totally started to lose control.

It all started with one great big massive seizure. No drugs, no nothing. Just winding down from several years of burning the candle at both ends. After the massive seizure I slowly started to drift into mania psychosis. My definitions, not any doctors definitions. At the time I thought it was one great big spiritual experience. Which is unlike me entirely. Normally I am non-spiritual. The seizure just knocked me into a totally delusional world, and I continued to drift from there.

I needed to be knocked out. I hated the anti-psychotics, but hey, what can you do? For the 5 or 6 years prior to my absolute burn out I wrote the equivalent of a few large sized novels worth of code across over a hundred projects, not all of them so small either. Eventually the brain is going to start to choke.

Not to mention way back in my hey day, I'd eat anything. I really don't believe it is comparable to the stress of a heavy workload though. Seriously. No 

Now it's seizure city...

I found lithium to be absolutely wonderful. But only a short run. The carbonate version. Hard on the kidneys and other organs. But I enjoyed the rejuvenating effects so much, that I'm thinking OTC lithium orotate this time around.

Lithium Builds Gray Matter In Bipolar Brains

Neuroscientists at UCLA have shown that lithium, long the standard treatment for bipolar disorder, increases the amount of gray matter in the brains of patients with the illness.

Carrie Bearden, a clinical neuropsychologist and assistant professor of psychiatry at UCLA, and Paul Thompson, associate professor of neurology at the UCLA Laboratory of NeuroImaging, used a novel method of three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to map the entire surface of the brain in people diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

When the researchers compared the brains of bipolar patients on lithium with those of people without the disorder and those of bipolar patients not on lithium, they found that the volume of gray matter in the brains of those on lithium was as much as 15 percent higher in areas that are critical for attention and controlling emotions.

 

 

really though stayonhere. We are probably more similar in some regards than we are different.

The headaches are interesting though. I almost NEVER get headaches. However, when the seizures started to kick in, I'd get them all the time.

I bet headaches are just seizures. Seriously. I bet I was just over sensitive to everything. I will be building my own EEG machine this winter. Anyways... let's see if my theory is right? (This is how I learn and prove my instincts right, or wrong)

1.
1. An electrocencephalographically recognizable type of migraine has been described in 8 subjects.

2. Although the EEG abnormalities varied, high voltage, slow paroxysms were noted in all records and all tracings could be easily activated by hyperventilation.

3. Besides the common findings of “ordinary” migraine, aphasic episodes and attacks of syncope were frequent.

4. Anticonvulsant medication benefitted these patients quite in contrast to “ordinary migraine”.

5. Psychodynamic factors appear of maximum importance and should be considered in all patients afflicted with true migraine associated with definite EEG abnormalities.

6. Should our findings in this small group of subjects be confirmed by other investigators, then the term “dysrhythmic migraine” for this loosely connected syndrome is submitted for consideration.

I can't understand this shit yet... oh well...

I am guessing migraines are typically "rythmic"? Seizures are basically a rythmn, so... I don't know...

I almost NEVER get headaches...
