I need some advice from ppl suffering mixed episodes. Which medications help you? I found out that lamictal makes my mixed episodes worse - so at 50mg i have to stop. Sadly. I hoped lamictal helps me too. 

My psychiatrist wants to try ziprasidone or amisulpride. I have to say I don’t like antipsychotics bc the weight gain. I take Seroquel for sleeping and my weight is going crazy. That’s a problem bc I am overweight. 

Also I am afraid of antipsychotics bc of the longterm effect.
