My psychiatrist diagnosed me with bipolar depression and told me that it is normal for you to feel worse at first before feeling better on medicine? Idk if it is all in my head but i just started latuda 2 days ago and i feel extra crummy and was wondering if this is true and if so, why that would be the case? Also I should mention when I say I feel worse I mean I feel more anxious (I already have social anxiety so I'm pretty anxious to begin with), more easily upset, and less likely to care about others (including animals) and have the ability to empathize. Each time I had been on SSRIs back when I was diagnosed with social anxiety but no bipolar I would end up feeling this way and sometimes even suicidal. When I first got diagnosed with Bipolar I was put on Lithium and it was a nightmare! Anyways the only med that has ever made me not feel nuts so far is lexapro as far as I know (I am currently still on it). I just hate these feelings, they remind me of back when I was a kid and was out of control when I got angry and was in general just a miserable child. Idk I guess I'm just scared to go back.
