Trigger Warning: Mood stabilizers

1 Reply

Hi...has anyone found that adding a mood stabilizer to their anti depressant has helped with suicidal ideation? I have too many things wrong with me to count...ocd, anxiety, depression and ptsd. I am currently on Luvox for the ocd and quite honestly, I have had some good days...it is almost an every other day thing...one day good, one day bad. Doctor has suggested possibly adding a mood stabilizer.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

I’m not 100% sure if a mood stabilizer could help with suicidal ideation. You might have to look into that or speak to your doctor about it. I hope you can find answers soon!

I struggle with ocd as well and it is so overwhelming at times. I am getting over my heartbreak and I cannot get this person out of my mind and the more I try the worse it gets! I’m curious though if you have any tips? I’ve struggled with ocd for quite some time but it’s starting to get pretty bad again!
