"i have struggled greatly with bipolar 1 for many years. the past two years have been horrific for me. i am a rapid cycler and it has been so unrelenting that i have had to fight my company through a legal battle to stay employed through the ada act. finally i got a new doctor who discontinued me from taking depakote, klonopin, trilifon and trileptal. he started me on seroquel xr which was too sedating and now i&#039;m on 40 mg of latuda. it is wonderful! i have only been on it for 4 days but i feel human again! my appetite is normal and i am losing all my weight from the other meds. i want to socialize and don&#039;t feel manic or depressive. so excited.
