I went to an Urgent Care and got some Lorazepam. But it just makes me sleep. So that is not helping my functioning level at all.
Also, since being on Latuda, I have had a lot of thoughts about harming myself. I have reached out a lot about this (here, private messaging, therapist, hotlines). I just want the thoughts to go away, and the anxiety to stop. Right now I feel so defeated.    |
I am going to the doctor today for anxiety. a month ago went to the hospital the week I was in the hostpital and they put me on 60mg of lutuda. notice some anxiety so they gave me a mild anxiety the week I was in the hospital but then it just got worse from there. When I got home I started having panick attacks and the anxiety got worse also i think It made me have insomnia too. (I am bipolar 2 and was in a hypomanic state but slept well in the hospital but that got worse too)they thought it was maybe just not at a therapeutic level yet so they bumped me up to 80 mgs of lutuda. I have been on it for 3 days and I feel worse. I have more anxiety, am easily aggitated and I am scared I will never sleep again. I will see the doctor today and switch medinces and tell you how it goes. please let me know how it goes for you too. thanks!
