I am on Verapamil for a mood stabilizer. Nothing else worked for the racing thoughts and we tried everything available at the time.
So I don't think that a person necessarily needs an atpyical. It depends on the nature of the what is going on and so many other things.

THat's good to know Mari, I had good results with each atypical I've used, but I've taken Neurontin/gabapenten and it did nothing for me, I know that there are better mood stablizers out there, but I am worried about laictal rash if I started on lamictal or going off it and developing seizures. Lots of things to worry about with that kind of therapy. Thanks for posting about your experience Mari, I really appreciate it.
