How long have you been on your current meds?
Thanks cln1812.

My youngest son who is living at home is 21 and he's aware of my bipolar and depression.

I see my doctor next week and I've been on my current meds for 9 months now, adjusting the lithium upwards to where I have it maxed out for me now. I'm thinking of increasing the latuda again (currently at 80 thinking of going to 120).

I was hoping my depression would get better this summer but hopes for that are fading.
