"i was diagnosed with bi-polar ii after being told i had depression for about 2 years. my doctor prescribed me wellbutrin, which i am still on and love. following, i was put on prozac to &quot;take my edge off&quot; and i took it for 2 years but it gave me horrible nightmares and i am now off of it. my doctor then prescribed me latuda. i have been on it for about 3-4 weeks and have loved it. before i was diagnosed with type ii i had no idea why i would be so upset one day but feel great with an abundance of energy the next day. it was my cycles. i cycle very frequently, however, the latuda has helped me stay constant and stable. i don&#039;t get upset over stupid things anymore (and they were stupid) and now have a better capability of letting things go."
