Depression Deepens

I started Lamictal three weeks ago and am at 200mg.  Started Latuda about four days ago at 80 mg.  Serequel 100mg to sleep.  Doc says I might have BP. Not sure if it's BP or deep depression.  How long does it take for these meds to work? I'm on and off and teary and a bit sick.  I'm not hopeless anymore, but still very scared. Does anyone have advice?

I'm starting to feel better on Lamical and Latuda. Not good, but better.  Only at 200 mg Lamictal.  Wondering if it gets better from here or is this life.  Anyone had this experience?

Honestly I think that you are on a great combination of medicines.  I have not taken Latuda before but it is relativiely new.  I have been on a lot of meds though and the best I ever did was on Lamictal and Serouel.  If anything your dr may bring you up on the Seroquel.  Be patient and let the meds work.  It took me about 3 weeks on Lamictal and Serouel for it to fully work but it did.
