Mood stabilizers?

zmnla63

Has anyone been placed on mood stabilizers? I have had Abilify added to my medications and the neurologist is suggesting the dose be increased. Apparently I am getting more moody?!? This crap is scary, I don't remember being mad or mean or moody. I hate when someone says I did this or sad that and when I try to remember doing it, it's like a black hole ....not even a sliver or recall. I know my hubby and daughters aren't trying to drive me crazy but some days I'm suspicious. This whole thing is a sh** show 😞

You are having to rely on your family to give you feedback. Is there anything you would like to do differently?

Not really. Can't think of any alternatives. I already keep a journal and have a therapist so really all I can do is keep telling myself no one is messing with me it's the disease that is messing with me.

Some medications start at a small level & then when the Dr's see your body is not reacting poorly & you aren't showing signs of an allergy, the will increase the dose. Some drugs you can on a site like WebMD that starting small & increasing is normal. I don't like my husband telling me we discussed something that I have no memory about. Just like you said. It stinks! I'm sorry that's happening for you.
