Thank you for the support
I can't take antipsychotics, SSRI, SNRI, trycycles (i don't know how to spell it), buspirone is not available in my country.
Benzodiacepines do nothing for me at a therapeutic dosage, I have to take mega ones which is dangerous.
Gabapentin absorbs really different depending on many factors, from 30% to 60% of it. So I was put on pregabalin that kills my anxiety and depression.
He added trazodone on Friday for the agitation-mixed episode. He said he cannot give a mood stabilizer without being able to monitorize the first days that would be weekend.
Which other options I have that are not mood stabilizers?
