Hello Sad&Bipolar,

Latuda is one of the newer atypical antipsychotics which is used for the depression/psychosis side of bipolar, It has much better reviews than the older antipsychotics and less side effects. But everyone is different and it may be that this medication does not suit you, please share with your psychiatrist. Lorazepam is a good short acting anti-anxiety medication which can be taken prn.
