Going off mood stabilizers is very iffy for bipoles. When you take antidepressants without a mood stabilizer, it shoves your manias/hypomanias up higher, and because they swing up so high, they fall down that much further.
Good luck replacing your antidepressants but keep taking the mood stabilizer. I've never heard of any "natural supplement" that is an effective enough mood stabilizer for a bipole.

From everything I've read on the subject matter, that is exactly the case. |
