I have tried so many psych drugs that it is ridiculous. Since most of them caused me much trouble with side effects, plus actually making me some kind of messed up bad high, that I stopped taking them altogether. I am not well. I am thinking of trying the newer drug Vraylar and would appreciate input from those who take this drug. My diagnosis has changed from Mood Disorder otherwise unspecified to Bipolar 2 to Schizoaffective disorder then most recently Bipolar 1.

I have bipolar 1, & Vraylar has been a great experience. Keeping me level. I've had rapid cycling. I lost weight and have a regular appetite

@Classycathy Absolutely! Try the cannabis pens. The come in Sativa (energetic high), Indica (a mellow and relaxing high) or blends. You can read on the box to see what the strain type is so you don’t grab the wrong one. I use Indica during my manic episodes. While it doesn’t completely rid me of the mania, but it definitely helps and gives me some relief. I believe you can buy them online. Our friends usually have them on hand so we get ours that way. Good luck!🍀
