Mine last for months at a time, so they are very hard to 'wait out'-- do you think I should ask my psychiatrist about mood stabilizers? It doesn't seem to be "just a feeling I will get over" but something that prevails in my life for long stretches of time. I am not depressed during these times (I take antidepressants, and I know what depression feels like-- I feel it when I go off my meds, which I won't be doing again any time soon!) but is this something that maybe should be medicated? Do mood stabilizers work for things like that? I have been on Lithium, but it gave me horrible muscle spasms, and my kidney function was below the recommended minimum level to take lithium. I have been on anti-psychotics as well, but they didn't seem to do anything, as I am more neurotic than psychotic. I am currently on 2 antidepressants (that work quite well for me) but no other psych meds.
