Getting bipolar symptoms of SZA under control

I am bouncing back and forth between mania and depression, and I don’t know what to do.
This has been going on for about 9 months. I’ve had about three manic/ hypomanic phases during that time, and the rest of the time, depressive. I have just swung back into a depressive phase. I just want this to end. It is a nightmare. I have recently been put on Vraylar, 1.5mg 1x/ day. I am also on Saphris, 5mg 2x/ day, Diazepam, 5mg 3x/ day, Lamotrigine 150mg 2x/day, and Topamax 200mg 2x/day (though it’s technically prescribed for migraine prevention). My pdoc is out of the office until some time in June.

Give the meds a chance to kick in.
Hopefully Vraylar will work out for you, it made me psychotic.

I agree with @Wave. Give the meds a chance to start working.

Saphris is a great med, for those who tolerate it. 5mg isn’t very much, it is wonderful antidepressant at higher doses.

I totally have the bipolar symptoms of my sza under control at all times. And I am so glad. I have the sz symptoms under control too. I guess I am just blessed.
