Mood stabiliser meds. The journey to stabilising on em?!

Oh thanksgivings @SunflowerSaved for input, yes'm it's the little aka big simple things eh. With ur replying I feel less alone in this particular well being sprouting (I hope) voyage.....

Hey @simplyme

I also found it really depends on the medication. Some medications work incredibly quickly; others take a month to a couple months. It really just depends on the way your body metabolises the medication. Make sure you are following the advice of your psych but speak up if it’s not working for you. There are quite a few different medications that can work.

Best of luck!

Thanks @Lapis_Anteater for ur words. It's a med that I was relatively stable, moods wise at least, on previously. Came off hoping to begin all over med reductions, yet here I am reintroducing both it, and others, a few years down track. Kinda disappointing, but whatevs works eh? So hopefully I'll get there again with this. Timings allowed for....

@simplyme

I’m glad the medication work for you in the past. I hope it continues to be successful for you now. Reducing meds can be challenging and it is definitely disappointing when it doesn’t work out. I think it is important to remember that there is no shame in needing medication. It should really be the same as taking medication for any chronic physical illness.

I wish you all the best.
