I would explain everything you said here to your doctor and ask. What meds have you been on?

Maybe it's time to try something new.

It's possible you need both a med adjustment and better coping skills, a therapist can help you with the latter.
Lithium is the only mood stabilizer I've tried. I've been on APs at various times in the last year and a half—Seroquel, Zyprexa and Geodon. Seroquel was the one I used most regularly but I have bouts of debilitating fatigue from fibromyalgia and I would go off it at times.
