My money is on latuda...

I have been on lamictal about 2.5 months and have been pleased with it. Two weeks ago my pnurse added latuda and on the same visit started straterra because I had to give up adderall because I was abusing it. I am having anxiety that makes me just about want to crawl out of my skin and get up and leave wherever I am. It started a couple of days ago as impatience that had more urgency than usual. Yesterday it was bad; I was able to head home early because not much was going on and I was ready to crawl the walls.

This could not happen at a worse time, which is why I mention the third possibility. I have meetings today with my new boss, who I have never met before. But I don't have much history of anxiety and my concern up until yesterday was trying to make sure to keep my ego in check as I am on the hypomanic side of center. I have had a lot of experience in stressful meetings and the only time I have ever suffered any anxiety is when I had to give someone else bad news. then the anxiety started with the meeting, not before. My outgoing (retiring) boss is also going to be here and he has given me some reassurance that things should continue as before. He did coach me a little. We never talk about it, but he knows I am "quirky".

Anyway, scouring for info I found threads here and elsewhere about this being common with latuda but not with straterra. Yesterday when I had the worst of it, I was not even thinking about the meeting today. this morning it is pretty bad and I even have a little shaking to go with it. It's a little unedr two hours until the meeting. With measured breathing and concentration, I will get through the day.

I see the pnurse tomorrow. I have one more dose in the latuda sample pack and I am torn about whether or not to take it tonight. If I do and I am anxious tomorrow, it will almost certainly be med related. OTOH, I am already about 90% sure it is med related and if things go well today and I still feel this way afterward and tonight, I might not .
