You guys are most likely right. As much as I hate it... I'm still scared of them but you're all most likely right. I haven't had meds in my system that much recently because of everything. I thought I was doing fine. After 30mins posting that I got into a heavy manic stage. I felt really good, high, was laughing at everything for long periods of time, you know stuff like that. Lasted a few hours. Then it immediately ended and now I'm in a state of super panic, worry, scared, depressed, and it's hard to breath. It's honestly a little much for me to handle. I really hate this T_T I don't really know what to do.

I hope you were in contact with your doctor about which change in the meds likely caused you to get so sick. It's unusual to get really sick from discontinuing an anti-psychotic (usually the main effect is that mental symptoms return) so it was very possibly the increase in Latuda that caused some of your problems.
In any case, you've discontinued the meds now, but I would urge you to consider starting on them again slowly with your doctor's help, or trying some new ones if you start to feel bad again. People with bipolar going off all their meds rarely ends well.

I don't think it's the latuda. I've taken this dose before, and all I got was an extreme feeling of uncomfort. We're trying again by taking 40 mg after dinner and 80 mg before bed. I wasn't even on it long enough. But I guess you never know.
