"i have recently been diagnosed bp 2.  i spent years being depressed with one suicide attempt.  i had been taking fluoxetine for 10+ years.  when i finally went to a psychiatrist he took put me on latuda and lamictal.  what a difference!   my primary care asked me to go off the latuda for a few days and i definitely noticed a difference for the worse.  latuda and lamictal have saved my life, i am much more productive, motivated and happy."
