I know everyone reacts differently to meds so I’m not going to take all your answers and just run with it but I’m wondering about your experience with either Latuda or Saphris, especially as a mood stabiliser. I’ve been going through pure hell for two months with severely unstable moods (mixed, manic, depressed - the lot). I was IP for a month and started ECT. I am now finishing off the ECT as an outpatient. Unfortunately although I have made some headway overall I crash and burn often. Today was a horror day of deep depression. Last week I was hypomanic. I am in despair over this and am desperate for a break.

My pdoc and T are worried about me so my pdoc suggested adding Latuda or Saphris. My choice. I’ve read up on both but am unsure still, although I am leaning towards Saphris atm. My current meds are Lithium 900, Lamotrogine 300 and Lorazepam and Seroquel PRN. I can’t take antidepressants. Thanks in advance.
