Studies have shown that sodium valproate can reduce testosterone levels in men, which may lead to symptoms such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and decreased muscle mass. However, the extent of the effect on testosterone levels varies from person to person and ma...more

Your uncle if diagnosed as Bipolar affective disorder need to take mood stabilizer for long term for proper control.There are many covert medication available like syrup valproate,syrup risperidone(sizodone) for non cooperative patients but best way is to contact nearby psychiatrist and if patient is reluctant plan for a home visit.That will be the best for patient.

I am male 46 years old suffering from major depressive since last 22 years. The first episode was very very severe with severe numbness and sleepy throughout the day, complete impairment in memory, thinking n thought processing tried different kinds of depression medications flunil 40, sertraline,veniz 40 etc, even though flunil helped me to some extent but my psychosomatic symptoms like body pains constant fatigue never gone away and also memory impairment n executive n thought processing capabilities not improved much even after medication for 22 years. Cognition n memory impairment was my biggest problem. One year back lamictal 200 introduced along with antidepressant lamictal helped me to a great deal in restoring my subnormal n below baselevel depressive mood lifted to certain extent far better than antidepressant alone. My main concern now is improvement in mood to further extent by using another suitable mood stabilizer along with lamictal n my grave concern of cognition and memory improvement which never returned back .I used to be with excellent n sharp memory and was topper through out my studies until this depression episode occurred. Please suggest add on medication for moodlift and memory problems.

Hello
I can understand the problem you are facing from such a long time. 22 year of long illness without recovery even when you are compliant with medication.

A mood chart will benefit you in that. Adding a mood stabilizer like lithium will cover your bipolar illness and augment your antidepressant treatment as we...more

It is a mood stabilizer. It may be stopped after 5 years after consulting your psychiatrist, provided she is completely asymptomatic during this period and is on regular follow up.
