Mood stabilizers

I’ve been on a ton of different meds and I’m still looking for the right combination. I hated lithium. HATED it. Never want to go back on it if possible. I’m currently on Latuda. What mood stabilizer works best for you? I’m rapid cycling, mostly manic with mixed episodes. Thanks in advance

Placebo Effect?

Hello! F[32] taking 40 mg Latuda for the first time. Started about a week or less ago. I stopped abilify and started Latuda. No cross tapering.

I also take pristiq 100 mg.

Honestly. I think it is working. But I can’t tell if this is a placebo effect or if it is really helping. Can anyone tell me their experience with Latuda and how it helped or didn’t help? How long it took to start working? Also, biggest question- did you gain weight? If you did were you able to lose it eventually and if so how? Thanks in advance !

First time user

I’m a first time user and wondering are there any success stories? I’ve basically been overwhelmed by negative information. I already sometime have sleep paralysis and nightmares so now I’m anxious to start this medicine. Please, if you have used this medicine and have any advice or can share your positive (or negative) experience I’d really appreciate it! Thanks :)

Anger and irritation

Has anyone taken this and had good success with it chilling your anxiety but makes you very angry or agitated? I’ve become so touchy lately. My doctor is upping my dose and discontinuing my stimulant for ADHD.

Does anyone here take this medication that has been on it for a while and can tell me how long the fatigue lasts? I’ve been on 6-8 weeks and I’m still sooo tired. I feel great emotionally just very sleepy. Thank you!
