I have a good feeling about this one.

But I have to say:

It may be that I’m “bipolar 1” or at least “bipolar depressive.”

Anything I should know about that I might be missing?

And, to anyone that has taken Lurasidone, let me know if it really works.

It should start working soon or in the mid-term, I’m sure.

    Was vraylar doing anything for you?

    You know your symptoms more than anyone else, so try to keep track of the positives but please dont ignore the negatives. As soon as something starts to feel “wrong” or you feel any physical sideeffects talk to your psych. There was one atypical antipsych that did wonders for me but had my ankles swelling up to the point where I could no longer walk. So just a heads up.

    I know that some antipsychs that specifically target depression can cause hypomania or mania, so write down any unusual symptoms so you can keep your psych updated on anything. But yeah, be patient, some meds start working 2-3 weeks later, some sooner. It does depend on the body.

    Also, meds are mostly on an individual basis. What works for someone else might not work for you and vice versa. I have a friend that was on sertraline and it made him feel worse, but for me sertraline works wonders.
