I think I am going crazy. I have suffered from PMDD my whole life. Over the last two years I was taking Lovan to help with my depression/anxiety moods. It seemed to help. I was also taking pill and Klonolpin. I stopped taking the Lovan in late december. I stopped taking klonolpin in August last year. I was falling over too much so that's why I stopped the Lovan. My p'doc was okay with this. At the same time my GP asked my to stop taking the pill as doctors apparently don't like "women of a certain age" continuing due to an increase of other possible events like heart attack, cancers, stroke etc.

Emotionally I have hit the deck on so many levels. Anxiety through the roof. Major irritability. So my p'doc suggested Latuda. Been on that for maybe 8 weeks. Hives are now showing up. Anxiety is really bad. Fear and irritability. I feel like I am losing my mind. I am stacking the weight on yada yada yada. The anxiety is so bad. I cant tell if the Latuda is the cause of the angst or its hormones.

Upshot is........... I dont know what is causing all of this mental madness. Is it the drugs (or lack of) or is it menopause or perimenopause. If this is menopause it's like PMS on steroids. I don't know where to go. My p'doc is away for another two weeks.
