I'm on 2 bipolar meds and one for anxiety. A mood stabilizer wasn't enough for depression, so had to add Latuda. I try to be on as few meds on as low dosages as I can get away with to be stable. Occasionally I'll throw an in AP to knock out a mixed episode for about a month then drop it like a hot potato.
Latuda dang near killed me. I lost nearly everything I did during that time just from the confusion. A lot of people do great on it though. I've had the pleasure to meet with Dr Terrence Ketter several times, and he's guy that gave the go-ahead for Latuda's approval through the FDA and lots of other meds too. He's the world's leading bipolar research scientist /doctor
