I am disappointed that voices continue to be a problem for you. Was Zyprexa effective? Have you tried Saphris? It is not completely weight-neutral, but one can still lose weight with it. I am told that Saphris might be particularly effective where paranoia exists, but still might be worth exploring for auditory hallucinations. I have seen Saphris produce an antidepressant effect and improve cognition.
Latuda made my bipolar depression worse. Drugs with NE alpha-2 receptor antagonism like Remeron always do. My atypical response not withstanding, perhaps this property adds to the antidepressant effects of Latuda.
