Dear lybrate-user, I think you were the one inquired about me in Lybrate. I called you in appointed time. You did not pick up for half an hour. However, please concentrate on your therapy for borderline personality disorder. The main stay of the treatment is therapy. Antidepressants and mood stabilizers (lamitor dt) are added to therapy to facilitate it. Don't worry about duvanta. All antidepressants are the same in their effectiveness. Only side effect varies. If you don't have any side effect, you can continue with duvanta. Please follow the doctor's advice. Because of your personality issues, you will often switch doctors, therapists, tablets, friends, relationships, jobs etc. During therapy, you will work out of your impulsive decisions and behaviors.
