Wellbutrin made me more psychotic. Risperidone worked well for a while, especially in combo with Seroquel, but eventually it quit working. Lithium was added, but never worked. Abilify was what we're replacing the Lithium/Risperidone with and so far Abilify has been my saving grace.
I was on Saphris briefly and it felt the same as the Abilify - I was me again, happy, energetic, creative, but not hypo. But it didn't last. So far the Abilify is lasting and I hope it's the one that keeps working for me.

Underneath this skin there's a human
Buried deep within there's a human
And despite everything I'm still human
I think that I'm still human
