So... I slipped into a pretty bad depression 15 days ago. I was crying uncontrollably for no reason, and I had several angry outbursts (including destroying my own cell phone). I called my pdoc (on my house phone), who was kind enough to increase my dose of Latuda to help me through this depression.
Although an increased Latuda dosage has helped, I still feel depressed. The sadness has gone away, but I feel very apathetic. I find that I can't enjoy things very much and I tend to be a little snappy at times. If I could describe my mood in one word, it would be "meh".
My pdoc said to give it 10 more days before he considers putting me on Lamictal.
In the mean time, I'm still struggling. I don't know what to do with myself. As I said, I can't enjoy things very much, so it's very hard to distract myself. My concentration is also very poor, so I can't concentrate on things for extended periods of time.
What can I do to help myself? Any suggestions?
