I know meds work different for everyone. I’m on Lamictal and I take Seroquel when I’m manic. Neither of these do a thing for my depression or my mood swings. Lamictal has saved me from suicide and Seroquel has saved me from being hospitalized from mania/psychosis. 

I’m going to start seeing another doctor soon and I want to know if anyone has had any luck with any mood stabilizers that have helped with depression and mood swings? Because my thoughts are constantly racing 24/7/365 and my mood changes so fast and so frequently it’s almost painful. My depression gets REALLY bad sometimes but I’ve never been able to find any meds that help with either of these things. 

I’ve heard Latuda is “a gift from God” and other great things about it but not anyone mentioning what it has specifically helped with. I’ve been thinking about getting on it because I’ve heard so many good things but I only want to get on another medication if it can either help my depression which I haven’t been able to get ANY relief from for 10 years, or something that can at least help with my rapid mood swings. Preferably both but yeah. 

I would love to hear your guys’ experience and where I should be looking. Thank you in advance! I love everyone in this subreddit :)
