Hi all,
My wife has been diagnoized with BP since last May 2016. She has Fibromyaligia since 2008 and the doctors started to treat her from depression since 2013 but since 2016 after being hospitalized the Pdoc informed she has BP.
Since this time, they told us the medication will take from 6 to 8 months to settle. She started with Latuda, then moved to Serquel..
Start of November the Pdoc decided to change her from Serquel as she had some comlications like an ulcer and she developed a weight gain that started to hit her depression. However once she started getting back to Latuda as an experiment she cannot handle and broke and had suicidal thoughts and since start of November she has been in hospital to moderate the medication change.

The Pdoc returned her to serequel while trying at the same time changing her to Abilify...
The experiment is now three weeks and she is not yet ok with a lot of restless and irriatation and no sleep and switching to more depression than being in hi mode...

We have a meeting with pdoc after tomorrow and I am not sure what to be done .. Should I inform him that the treatment plan completely not working.. they say he is knowledgable doc but why since May we cannot settle her on a medication that would put her into stable point...

Can you please advise what I should do ? should we switch her to herbal ? should we stop medicaition completely and avoid all the side effects from such chemicals..
Is it normal to try all of these meds without success ?
Please advise ..
Thanks in advance so much
