My therapist told me to also mention she has noticed the difference in sessions as well. Next option if this doesnt work is to add an antidepressant to the mix.

What a lousy time for such a change, WindsThatBlow. I'm sorry to read that you'll have to start almost anew with someone. The good notes are a blessing, I'd think. So many people with bipolar have to totally reintroduce themselves. That sucks. I know since I've been there.

I hope the extra Vraylar helps ease your depression. At least there is a game plan if it doesn't. Hugs
