The lamictal is taking so long to build up and tackle the depression. Still I'm better than I was. The latuda took care of the mixed symptoms and the ambien is helping with sleep. I keep name calling myself for not caring and not interested enough to carry out activities I need to be doing. Strangely the latuda or sleep has decreased my anxiety to the point I do less now than I did before, although I can read again, thank goodness.
