Mood stabilisers
Hi ladies,
I have just found out that my mum has Parkinson's disease and I believe its due to her 40 years of taking lithium for her mood disorder.
I am also taking lithium for a mood disorder and have been on it for over 10 years obviously with a break to have my baby.
I am interested to know if anyone has found lithium to be helpful to them or whether other meds like lamotrigine have helped? I take Prozac too.
Ideally I'd like to be off meds but I tried this year and became very ill with depression but I won't give up trying or looking for less toxic medication.
I'd be so grateful for anyone willing to share their experience with me.
Best,
Vee
