[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 592556, member: 1550"] I was a total zombie on Lithium and Tegretal, worse than the illness. Do you have full blown manic attacks? If not, you may not need a mood stabilizer; maybe something not as strong. A mood stabilizer, in my experience, REALLY caues you to go flat emotionally and for me it didn't feel right. I'm on an antidepressant and it doesn't change my personality. I would keep looking around if I was given anything that made me not be me anymore. What else have you tried? My guess is that Zeta-Jones is not always medicated or else that she doesn't take anything heavy duty. With her money she can afford people to watch her every second. Also, these medications almost always cause weight gain and I don't see that in her. I don't judge our lives by the lives that movie stars live...in my opinion...it's different. [/QUOTE]
