I've had a lot of horrible side effects to meds. I posted about that when I was a new member a lot, I gave up on meds for a long time. I recently got to the point where I had to try something and I was put on latuda and lamictal, to my surprise and wonder I'm not having any problem with either of them and the latuda has helped the mixed BP symptoms. Still waiting on the lamictal as I am going up very slowly. I'm starting my 5th week and just went up to 50 mg where I'll be for 3 weeks before going up to 100. It's hard to wait for the lamictal to kick in but worth the slow climb to avoid the side effects.
