"i have been on multiple medications over 20 years for bipolar ii/ depression.  i am currently on vivactil which has worked in the past but gives a side effect of anxiety.  my doctor prescribed latuda 6 months ago. i sleep well now but still have some anxiety. i have also gained 35 lbs while dieting and working out. i have almost no appetite, but am still gaining weight.  mentally a 9, but cannot continue this because i am getting depressed and having back pain due to the weight gain."
