Hey, all. Latuda saved me. I was resisting being hospitalized due to bipolar and halucinations. My pdoc started me on Latuda and it was pretty quick that my symptoms resolved. I'm also on lamictal, pristiq, and amitryptiline. Hallucinations mostly gone and mood swings are mild. I didn't have any side effects at all. LOVE LATUDA!!!
If latuda isn't working for you, definately let your pdoc know so hopefully you are able to find something that works for you as latuda worked for me. Often it is just trial and error until you find the right med.
Sounds like you have tried many of the non-med interventions. Walking helped me once I added it to my schedule. When it was something I would do whenever, then I never did it. I had to schedule it into my day and think of it as part of my routine before I got regular at it.
Hope some of these ideas help you and others.

Latuda is the bomb!
favorite quote from the movie, "ET"
when Elliot tells his friends in the park what they have to do to save ET from the scientists, Greg asks, "Why doesn't he (ET) just beam up?" to which Elliot replies, "This is REALITY, Greg!"
