I think I might need to go off my Geodon because of heart issues.

Is ablify or latuda good for non manic mood swings and a lot of anxiety?

I'm on lamictal already. Hopefully the doc just won't mention me needing to go off it.

I like abilify, it gives me a baseline. I have to also take a baby dose of hadol. But I'm pretty stable.

Vraylar is good for "full symptom coverage" --manic, depressive and mixed episodes. It's not known to cause weight, I'm bipolar II so I don't have any actual documented "manic" moments , but it's my AP. Maybe you could look into it

I took geodon for years then it kind of stopped working.

I second Abilify! It’s relatively weight neutral.
