What you said makes a lot of sense. You and I have similar stories, though I've never sought out a sugar daddy while manic. I have, however, dealt with psychosis and mood issues for a long time. And I had the exact same side effect on Latuda-that awful restlessness! Ugh, I could hardly stand it.
Now I'm on Zyprexa, and it has been a good drug for me. At low doses, it eliminated my depression. At the dose I'm on now, it helps with the psychosis to a minor extent-hallucinations are less frequent, have more insight into delusional thoughts. I suspect that if I went on a higher dose I could eliminate the psychosis completely, but I don't want to go on a higher dose due to weight gain.
I wish you the best and hope you find something that works soon.
