I was taking many psych drugs that I weaned my self off slowly..one at a time...First the Lamictal , then the Lexapro , then the Ambien and lastly the Ativan . I feel better 90 of the time but these mood swings come out of nowhere!!! ANd I will get maddest at the most mundane things??? I am also have hot flashes but had a hyrsterctomy back in2004. I am 46, happily married to a very supportive husband. Had 4 sons which I am all close to except for the son I lost 2 12 years ago...still haven t even begun to process that. Do I really have to be on medications for mood?? I don t want to take more than I have too!  <response>: Hi, I have read your query with diligence. Yes, you really have to go on medications again. Not for a very long time though. You feel better by 90now that is a good sign. However, to get rid of the mood swings, it is better to be on a low-dose mood stabilizer Chat Doctor. I am glad you have a supportive family. Make a wise decision of helping yourself and your family with a small dose of the medication. Take care!
