Well, yes, Phillipa. I had no idea this was what mood stabilizers did ... calm you this way. It feels like they're better than benzos. I had always thought they were for bipolar and since I wasn't bipolar, I never looked into them, and NO DOC EVER PRESCRIBED ONE! It was always ADs that didn't work! I just spoke to a friend who said I was on two much though. She said she never takes Seroquel during the day, but I'm prescribed 25mg 3x a day and then 100mg w/ trazodone (yuch - so tired of trazodone) for sleep. Also the Trileptal is a sort of mood stabilizer, but described as an anti-epileptic in PDR. My tremors have really lessened. The friend that I was speaking w/ is definitely bipolar, and she says that bipolar people should not take anti-depressants at all. This is really all new to me. cf
