I just need to write things down more and repeat things over and over to keep them in my memory.

All that said, I have been over seven years without a bipolar episode, longer than with any other mood stabilizer.

So, I've accepted this memory issue. I can certainly understand your frustration, though.

I've never taken Latuda. But I take Cymbalta, which might be similar.

Good to have you here. Again, welcome.
Thank you so much for the reply. It's interesting, I slept 12 (yes 12 hours last night and I feel like my brain is working OK today. Do I need to sleep this long every night? ha

Any way, I see the doc tomorrow, and I have a list of questions for him, and I will not leave until I get them answered
