I don't know why, but for quite a while I've had a situation where I feel just fine all day long, but in the evening I develop a feeling of malaise. Sometimes it causes a little anxiety which is likely the cause of some minor sweating. When this first started, I was taking Nexium and it seemed to help. I stopped Nexium because of a suspicion that that gave me a sudden red rash that would clear 8 to 12 hours after taking it. I haven't gotten the rash since stopping the Nexium (maybe a week ago), but the malaise continues. I'm wondering if I should finally go and buy some substitute for the Nexium (Prilosec or Zantac) or if maybe that's not the issue at all. It's not exactly indigestion all of the time. Chewable Alka Seltzers hadn't been doing much good.


One thing I have been doing a lot of is taking prn Ativan, for the anxiety that crops up in the evening. I think it has been mostly daily for a little while now. I don't think that could be the culprit. Or could it be? I'll admit that when I take the Ativan, I very soon after feel better and sleep well. Which started first? The regular evening "malaise" feeling or the Ativan taking? I don't remember.


The only major thing that has changed these past weeks is my stopping 20 mg of Latuda, at my psychiatrist's direction. 20 mg is a small dose, but I had been taking it for at least a year. I went straight from the 20 mg to 0 mg. But if that is the culprit, why only the evening malaise and not full day malaise feeling?
