My pdoc took me off of Latuda due to akathesia and put me on Risperdal (.50mg a day at first but now I'm at 1mg a day). I was put on Latuda while I was in the hospital in November. At some point during that time I began to have "mixed states", feeling depressed and exhibiting hypomanic symptoms at the same time. Like right now...I feel like crap and just want to go to bed, but I keep getting up to go clean something in the house that pops into my head. It's like a mission to clean the toilet, even though I just want to lay down and go to sleep. Part of it may be that I know my wife will be upset if I go to sleep this early and I will have to deal with that. I don't know what mood I'm in anymore. Does that make sense? I think I'm down, but then I realize I've only slept 5 hours in the last 3 days...and I'm not physically tired. Or, I think I'm up but I just burst into tears when a song comes on or whatever. I'm wondering if this is a side-effect of my meds, or am I regressing into another form of Bipolar. Is that possible?

This sucks worse than just being up or down.
