My husband has been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and is currently taking 1200mg of lithium and 20mg of latuda. He has been on latuda for 3 1/2 weeks but shows no improvement. He also takes an antihistamine, Olopatadine, several times a day. I'm concerned about the effectiveness of his medications and how they interact. Additionally, I'm unsure about the requirement to consume 350 calories with latuda for proper absorption. Can you explain how this works and if it's okay to take latuda and lithium together, and with food?

My blood test showed my ferritin level as 258. My doctor did not seem concerned as all other results were normal range. I have been diagnosed with a small pericardial effusion and also have arthritic disc and fingers. I'm wondering if this could be due to rheumatoid arthritis or should I not be concerned?

My blood pressure is always high, today it is 157/100. I check it many times and it is always more than 150/90. I did all blood tests and they are normal, including cholesterol. The doctor prescribed me perindopril/indapam 4mg, but I only took it for 2 days and stopped. What are the causes of high blood pressure, and should I restart the medication?
