First of all, a hug.
I've just written on my own thread about starting Latuda, and posted an entry that is so similar to yours.
What frustrates me so immensely is the not knowing whether a med needs to be increased to be effective - or would decreasing it be more helpful? For example, I started Latuda about a week ago, at 40mg. Result hasn't been fabulous (flu-like symptoms, mostly, and something along the lines of very unpleasant feelings). But then, maybe I should have started the dose at only 20mg and eased up to 40mg over a couple of weeks? Or, am I having a rough time - having nothing to do with the Latuda - because of other events in my life?
When I was in my 20's and 30's I took a medication and within 3 days I knew that yes, it's working or no, it's not.
You said that "it seems everything has turned into a struggle." Is that feeling an aspect of anxiety for you? Because I feel exactly the same way and I'm never sure whether to attach that miserable feeling to anxiety or to depression.
