Nervous about what will do. Been very very down and depressed and anxiety most of the time.
On Latuda 20mg, Lamictal 200mg, Wellbutrin XL 150mg. Guess we will see if something is upped, added, or switched. Just wish I knew. Am I the only one that gets extreme anxiety before appointments? Hope I can sleep.

Yeah sorry to hear you're still struggling.

Hope all goes well at your appointment and you're able to come up with an action plan with your pdoc on the best way for you to move forward.

I am sometimes nervous before I see my pdoc yes, circumstances pending.

I have been nervous lately. My psychiatrist got mad when I went off my meds and she wants me to stabilize and I just don't feel up enough yet. Still depressed.

Actually slept well (thank God for a good CPAP machine and Restoril). My appointments at 11:30AM and looks like my wife will get to go. She is a teacher and normally doesn't get to go and is excited to meet him.
Hope all will go well and I'll keep you updated. Thanks for your concerns and we'll wishes :-)
Best,

Thanks guys for all your support. It went really well. The doctor upped my dose of Latuda from 20mg to 40mg, and switched the Xanax to 1mg Klonopin twice a day. He was very supportive and glad I had kept a good mood/anxiety/depression chart that really helped him in seeing what best to do. Such a great doc too. Gave me free samples of the Latuda so I wouldn't have to buy it ($100 with insurance. My most expensive medication). It's great when you find those great doctors who really care about their patients.

Glad you've got a great doc - gees it makes such a difference to our treatment.

Hopefully it will kick start soon with the change over to Klonopin and the increase of Latuda.

I'm on 40 mg of latuda between that lamictal and seroquel I've been the most stable I've ever been. Good luck

Pretty sure there is a Latuda discount coupon thing on their website that lowers your cost to maybe $25. I'm not 100% certain but pretty sure. It's worth the search.

Well, here (it does exist)
