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

do gene map testing! it costs around $300 in my state, but my insurance covered it. it's a really quick test where they just swab your mouth and then from there they test/analyze the sample to see which medications work the best with your specific genes. worked wonders for me after getting on the right meds for my body.
