In any case the other drug she mentioned was Latuda. a relatively new AP. She said she wouldn't want me to try Lamictal right away because it takes forever to titrate up to a therapeutic dose unless you are inpatient.
Ugh I hope something works soon! At least I know I have someone to call now if things take a turn for the worse.

I would not wish anyone to be a member of this club, however I'm you what's going on. I agree w/ your pdoc abt Lamictal. I'm doing the titration and its been hell waiting. I've been on it for five weeks and have three more to go. I was not told this bs upfront. I have BP 1 so I can't take any AD. Celexa flipped me over to mania. I know you've been suffering for a while. I encourage you to create a safety plan.
Stay strong
