I was on Lamictal and Risperdal but had some pretty nasty side effects on the Risperdal (gained 10 pounds.. along with other stuff) so now I'm on Lamictal and Latuda and have noticed a huge difference. Keep in mind I've been ultra rapid cycling for the last year with a horrible manic episode due to an anti depressant induced "manic switch".. so feeling anything close to normal is a huge improvement for me. I know I have a long ways to go but I like to see success stories so thought id share my mini one.
