no...not all mood stabalizers make you tired or else i'd be in serious trouble (since my depressions make me so tired enough already). Lamictal worked well for me. I was on Abilify for a while. Now i'm on Topamax and suppose to be taking 25mg in the a.m. and 25mg in the p.m., but i've only been able to keep up with once a day and am struggling with my moods quite a bit right now (i too have pdoc apt soon)

If tiredness is an issue for him, i'd suggest staying away from Seraquel and Lexapro as both turned me into a walking zombie.

best wishes,
jenna
