A member asked:
Are mood med personality changes permanent?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Of course there are lots of mood meds and they don't all work the same, but in general the answer is no. A word of caution, it is wise with most mood meds to taper as abrupt discontinuation can lead to more unstable moods for a while.
