The one thing I will not do here, is suggest a person take a certain med. These meds can have serious, and even fatal side effects. I would hate to say "yeah, you should try lithium" and then 6 months later you come back with lifelong kidney issues. I would feel partially responsible. I'm weird like that. You definately need to talk it over with your doctor. A mood stabilizer might be just what you need, but ultimately, it's up to you to do the research and see if you feel comfortable with the med and risks. I know all too well how hard the decision can be. Good luck and let us know what you and your doctor decide. I hope you find something to help you. (((Hugs)))
