Looking for Bipolar Medication Recommendations

I had to try Latuda and Vraylar before my ins would let me try Rexulti. Latuda made me manic for my second and last time (knock on wood) (first was Lexapro),then the Vraylar made me super depressed. Tried the Rexulti which is what we wanted to in beginning lol and that was the right one for me :) along with my other antidepressants/anxiety meds,atypical antipsychotic,and then eventually my ADHD med because I’m blessed with all of those things🤩

My partner also takes Lamictal and it’s been a really good mood stabilizer for her for years :)

Rexulti really really helped me and honestly in combo with my other meds made the most difference in my Bipolar II symptoms :) everyone is different though :)

Depakote. I have terrible reactions to antidepressants and this is the only mood stabilizer that has worked

For the depression, I actually found lithium + wellbutrin super helpful

I really like latuda (antipsychotic) and it’s helped a lot with my irritability

Currently on Remeron, Effexor, and Buspar. I’ve been on mood stabilizers before and we’re trying to go without for now as I seem to do fairly well. For mood stabilizers, my favorite that I’ve tried was definitely Depakote. Second favorite was Trileptal (very similar to the Depakote for me).

I’m on fluvoxamine and it has helped me a lot. B

I’m on Lamictal and Venlafaxine. I was on Vraylar and like others have said, it’s very expensive. Zoloft messed with my sleep so so much.

Vraylar kept me really even keel but I had to go off because it’s hella expensive and switched to Lactimal

For bipolar 2 My medications are Lactimal with 2 antidepressants Wellbutrin and lexapro

Hmm, you could try an anticonvulsant like trileptal, tagretol, i think lamictal is one? those work for alot of people. didn't work for me though

I used Zoloft with lamictil, and Zoloft with lithium. Both combos worked well for me, but the lithium was too hard on my stomach.
