So I have been depressed since March and now I have started getting some energy back and getting a bit too hyper. Since Thursday or Friday at PHP, they think I am becoming manic and are trying to combat it with Latuda, but it is not working. I think I am mixed right now, but I don't know. I will be super happy and jumping off the walls, but then suddenly, serious SUI and SH thoughts will come into my mind and I will have a huge urge to do something. My energy level is super high, but sometimes it is happy, or sometimes it can be very angry or tense. I have been waking up in the middle of the night with the fastest racing thoughts ever and they are very random, don't make sense, and sometimes end up being bad. These happen like every 2 hours at night and I have been getting very little sleep because of it, but I don't feel tired during the day.

Am I transitioning into a manic phase or am I mixed? How long does the transition take, because I have felt like this since Friday and it is annoying me to be constantly switching between the two emotions. I don't know what to do... I hate being happy and then angry the next, it is frustrating. Could the meds be causing this? I take 20 mg of Latuda at night.

Also, the voice in my head is turning very angry because of the meds. I would rather her be happy and me have to deal with her, than make her angry...

My mania almost always turns to an angry hellish hot mess.

I hope you find some relief soon.. Maybe a med increase or change could help .

Sounds like mixed episodes to me. Not as severe is it could be though. Go to the doctor!
