I think the suggested Latuda is worth a try, especially if depression is a big problem. Yes, Abilify can be great for many for both.

I suggested Geodon to someone not long ago. Forget who, but they said they tried it but had a side effect I never had (relating to their heart), even at a high dose. Of the three, Geodon was the best for all aspects of my illness. I did eventually develop akathisia, but only five years down the line. It is a rough one to get off of, though, in terms of withdrawal. I think the roughest of all the antipsychotics I was ever weaned off, and there were many. I was very trim on Geodon. I felt like hot stuff during those years.

Some people do well on perphanazine, a 1st generation. That really knocked out my mania and psychosis. I did gain a little weight on it and developed a minor dystonia, but many don't.
