"i&#039;ve been in lamictal and wellbutrin for over 2 years without a lift on severe bipolar depression. it felt like they kept me just from the edge of suicide but in dark misery. 



we started trying atypical antipsychotics...abilify helped a bit with 8 lbs weight gain, saphris lowered anxiety and weight but left depression untouched then came latuda and life changed at 40 mg. the dark cloud lifted in three weeks and i saw and thought and felt clearly. i&#039;m envious that people feel this way all the time and don&#039;t appreciate it all. i&#039;m finally living and not just surviving. 



small prices to pay are sleepiness and having to eat so much to take the pills, because it knocks me out i eat later than i&#039;d like and have noticed weight gain."
