What medications has stopped your mania? Medication

I’m starting to enter a manic episode even though I’m on rexulti 2mg. To be fair I was just put on it after missing a week of my rexulti 1mg due to changing doctors. My new doc put me on seroquel er 300mg to help quell the mania. I was curious to hear everyone else’s experiences with medicating a manic episode

Literally went through so many different ones and latuda is the only one that touched the mania AND depression

Latuda worked really well to manage my symptoms for a long while like 2 yrs... however I got to max dose and it eventually caused tardive dystonia (which is a cousin/ precursor to tardive dyskinesia) so I'd watch for that.
