@Azraa that's what he put me on but I'm scared to take it
@kina completely normal to be a bit scared, but it really does help! I haven't had any bad effects while taking it! Not everyone is the same though
Thank you some great advice

Latuda is a great starting medication for bipolar disorder. It has a low risk for weight gain but is only available in brand. Ability is also great and is available in generic, but mostly acts as a stronger mood stabilizer than Carbamazepine, Divalproex/Vaproic Acid, and Lamotrigine. Vraylar is stronger than Latuda and acts similarly but can be dangerous if you experience Tardive Dyskinesia because it has such a long half life and therefore takes a week or so to be eliminated completely. Zyprexa and Risperdal along with Seroquel aren't necessarily the best for keeping weight down and lipid levels normal even though they are available in generic.
Lamictal helped me a great deal. Without the weight gain.
@Zeeloo that's what he put me on 25 mg I'm scared to take it tho
Vraylar changed my life for the better. You can even get genetically tested to determine if it will be effective for you.
Risperdol worked well for me also latuda and lithium together
