Does anyone have any experience with mood stabilizers?

Hi friends. I'm going to be starting one today and I'm just curious about other people's experiences. Did you find that it helped, improved your quality of life, helped with irritable/frustrated/disappointed/angry/sad moods, did it help with depression at all, did it help energize you?  And also, feel free to share any side effects or if it didn't work for you. Thanks everyone!
