mood stabilizers are making me not a genius

[N0 W4RN1NG]

Oh no, I mean I take 300mg in the morning and 300mg in the evening, as well as 10mg escitalopram & 20mg adderall XR in the AM.

I hate to break it to you but the 2mg xanax\daily probably has a lot more to do with your cognitive decline.

I've been on this combo for around 3 years.

No side effects at all. Seriously.
 
EDIT:

I have never been on a mood stabilizer w\o a concomitant SSRI - I was on sertraline 100mg initially which made me crazy aggressive\anti-social and I eventually attacked a cop and got kicked out of a second college for the second time, dx changed to bipolar NOS, Rx 100mg sertraline down to 50mg sertraline, Rx 300mg oxcarbazepine bid added (600mg\day total), this helped greatly keep me on an even keel and helped me not ascend into violent manias, then Lexapro went generic so I could afford it, sertraline 50mg replaced with escitalopram 10mg, this helped a lot too, sertraline is an EVIL drug for people with cyclothymic disorders

Just came in to say that I agree with the topic title, at least for Gabapentin in particular.  Having taken it for quite a while now, I noticed way back when I was still fairly new on it that I felt it somewhat dulled my intellect.  Nothing drastic, but I do feel a dulling effect, as far as I can tell, which is so hard to objectively do so with something like that.

lamictal did nothing at all, topamax was the best bipolar med/mood stabilizer I was on but I didn't realize it until I went off of it. Helped me sleep, lost some weight, but damn it made my feet numb as hell.

is there anything that does the opposite of a mood stabilizer? Like, what if your mood is too consistent and boring and you want some variety to spice things up?

True. Phenibut which is basically Gabapentin made me feel like the king of the world. Very nice stuff. I should get some more of that.

Gabapentin helped me get off opiates, but then getting off the gabapentin was twice as bad.

Wow

Wow, look at how pathetic you faggots are, going on about how great non drugs like gabbapentin are, jesus fucking christ, if you're not 13 and raiding your moms medecine cabinet you should have moved on to actual drugs by now

pic related, a bunch of gabbie 300s from a year ago that've been sitting around. They're not even a controlled substance because the government shouldn't need to tell faggots not to abuse non drugs

kill yourselves, every last one of you

I pity you, and your ungrateful mind.

I probably have more divine moments just sitting in the park than you'd have on 1500mcg LSD.

Fucking nigger bitch.
