What are the possible medication for Bi-polar condition?
human
My doctor just gave me samples of Latuda 40 mg to take one at bedtime for 2 weeks and see him then.  I have reviewed the side effects and they are rather disturbing.  I am Bi-Polar I and am 66 year old female.  Took lithium for better part of 30 years.  Caused cysts (non cancer in bladder).  Now Abilify for depression after sudden death of my younger brother this past April.  Recently came out of depression into anxiety and racing thoughts and obsessive behavior (keep cleaning house and not able to just relax).  Stable in thinking. Bad reactions...constipation and swelling of tongue.  Tonight will be my first dose of Latuda.  Any recommendations welcome.

HiThanks for using healthcare magicLatuda consists of lurasidone and it is a good drug for bipolar depression. Carry on with drug and you would get good benefit. There is no need to think about side effects. Every drug has some or another side effect and with lurasidone, side effects is at higher dose. Better to use and wait for at least six weeks.Thanks
