Thank you all for your replies.

The list of coping skills is great.

The vacation was actually quite wonderful. I have come to the conclusion that the anxiety is a side-affect of Latuda because the anxiety began after I increased to the dosage. This is a new med for me. It still did not make it any easier to bear. It had no relation to the vacation was one of my best experiences. I was with my daughter who has lived in New York since 2008. It was comforting to spend 12 days with her and her fiance. Her fiance was the driver, by the way, and he is actually an excellent driver.

The plane ride there was during the time when almost all states were having terrible storms, and the plane went through constant turbulance. It was a difficult flight. The flight back home was smooth sailing, and we even landed 20 minutes early. However, early the next morning after landing, I ended up in the ER and was admitted to a psych unit because the anxiety and depression got so bad. Today, I got out of the hospital and have to find a way to address the anxiety. My Pdoc is on vacation so it is going to be hard to get an Rx for Lorazapam, which I need badly. To make it worse, this is a 3day holiday weekend, so I cannot even contact my regular MD until Tuesday (it is now Saturday night).

Your very wonderful and thoughtful replies mean a lot to me. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Viv.
