Anyone on lurasidone? Does it help with hypomania and sleep ?

I'm currently on olanzapine low dose but I don't like it. My legs feel like they are made of lead. I'm starving all the time. Excerise seems impossible due to awful heavy feeling. I've heard that lurasidone is better. I'd love to hear from anyone on it.

Ive also jusf been started on lamotrigine a few days ago.

I am on lurasidone and it works well for psychotic symptoms. I am also on lithium that is for hypomania/mania. Apart from mild weight gain I haven't got any other side effects.

I don't find lurasidone sedating. I don't have sleeping problems generally. Olanzapine is way more sedating than lurasidone. I think lurasidone is like aripiprazole but less activating.
