bipolar disorde
"7 days ago my psych added Latuda 80mg a night to my usual diet of 300mg lithium and 0.5 mg Ativan (when required).  The first two days as he tapered me up to 80mg of Latuda I was tired almost sedated and super relaxed.  My horrible rapid cycling has stopped, paranoia significantly lessened. I have only cried 3 TIMES this week and I feel amazingly like "my old self again."  I'm almost afraid its to good to be true and suddenly side effects are going to start.  But so far so good!  The only thing I've noticed is that I am eating again. I was having so much anxiety my food was choking me.  I am not gaining weight, just able to relax enough to eat.  I am hoping it will continue working and I will be able to wean off the lithium because of the side effects."
