I should have said different psychotropics in that post.
I do worse with anti-depressants as well. I take anti-anxiety meds and after much trial and error with mood stabilizers ( bipolar for 20 yrs., supposedly) I was prescribed one that works for things other than mood stabilization.
As you know all personalities feel and think differently. My "moods" go all over the map still, but I can actually read again with it and it makes the world less ethereal and more solid, if that makes sense.
Like, say,... I still mentally dissociate but physically I dissociate less... being more aware of my body I pay closer attention to my movements and I don't trip or crash into things as much.
I told med providers these things but it's not something it is supposed to treat so they didn't pay much attention. It's called an 'atypical' mood stabilizer; it was originally developed to treat seizures (Lamictal). But as you say everyone responds differently to different meds.
Anti-psychotics scare the daylights out of me. I call them 'high-caliber' meds. Some were much worse than others.
Do you have any meds that do work for you?
I sure can talk a lot... Have a good 🌙 or morning or tomorrow... all of the above... Meg.
