Just an idea for a mood stabilizer as my last pdoc told me my seroquel WAS a stabilizer and to "work it out in therapy" when I came to my last visit complaining of my intense irritability and anxiety. I've been on seroquel for 12 years for insomnia, not a stabilizer. And I notice that some agree it's a stabilizer while others do not. Hmm. Well I found out that she's leaving so I'm getting a new pdoc my next visit. But after research I think I may just stay on my lithium orotate supplements and see how that goes. I just got those in the mail on Sunday so not really long enough to tell. Regular RX lithium stabilized me well but I couldn't deal with needing a restroom wherever I went and I ended up with toxicity and thyroid damage anyway. I've tried many others in the past as well with either short term success or none at all.
