The Pdoc I saw who added the latuda to the lamictal said it was just temporary until things called down then I can just use the lamictal for maintenance. I was really worried about using it after my previous experiences but he put me on a very low dose and so far the only side effect is that the music and ocean roar inside my head stopped. I slept the first night but not after that.

For me this mixed episode has been ongoing for a while and I have not been able to create anything, no writing, no clay work, no painting. I'm hoping these meds will bring that back, I feel so dull, and dim with the lack of sleep. I do understand your concern, but ask if the AP can be temporary. I had a good friend who choice his music over the medicine, he was a composer. We lost his voice forever, it's a hard balance.
