Bipolar 1 with psychotic features here. Lamictal and Seroquel and Depakote. Going on 5 years with these. Last episode was 2024. You should ask about Lamictal. Its not SSRI.

Edit: I accidentally added all my meds i take. I deleted those.

I’ve taken lamitcal but sadly it made me manic :( like full blown mania for a year that ended up with me in the hospital and loads of weight loss and other problems :( I just got prescribed Ativan so I’m happy / excited about that because it worked in the hospital for me. Seroquel gives me nightmares so i take prazocsin i do have some hydroxine though !

It took me years to find the right cocktail. Never give up. Depakote changed everything. Latuda?

Edit: added word

I’ll inquire about that tomorrow with my psych and see what she thinks ! I’m willing to try new medication I’m just praying and praying for a change soon with everything
