In reply to why is a MOOD stabelizer making me mean?????, posted by woolav on May 24, 2005, at 18:03:52
I had the same experience as you, but with duloxetine. That drug got rid of my depression and also got rid of most of my anxiety. But although I felt relatively calm, I had a temper which is not normal for me. That's why I stopped taking it. I think it may have had something to do with it's effect on norepinephrine.
> day 6? trileptal...now i am at 300mg...and it seems like since i started taking the 300mg i have been mean. My husband noticed it and so has my daughter. I have been really snappy and short tempered. It seems like a mood stabelizer would even out my moods, not make me angry feeling. I wonder if this is just a beginning side effect or am i just losing it again? who knows. Maybe its not mixing well with my other meds, but my pdoc said it wouldnt. It seems like now, i am not depressed (like i was)and i'm not hypo manic, so what, now i am going to be angry? whats up with that. Im sick of it all.....
