I was brought to the hospital by friends because i was pretty crazy/suicidal/depressed. The depression was going on for about a month at this point. I was hopeless loss and scared. Didn't want to die but wanted to at the same time. They admitted me. My lithium levels were low. I have never been good and taking my meds consistently i try though.

So while inpatient they get me back on my meds fully. Took me off abilify and put me on latuda.

Im just agitated. Mind is racing. Cant sleep wide awake. Spent way to much money today. Want tomorrow just to hurry up and get here. 3 more hours and i can start my day.

Pissed because i dont see my new pdoc till May 2. Aggrevated that i was in the middle of switching pdocs when this all happened because the one they gave me was a resident and getting ready to end his residency.

I'm sorry you're in a rough place. I know waiting for a pdoc appointment really sucks. Just hang in there and take your meds for now, and things really will get better.

Sorry to hear that

Latuda isn't a good drug for preventing mania. It's meant to treat depression. (I'm one of those weird people who takes Latuda and it doesn't prevent depression, but it prevents mania. Go figure.)

I hope you can stay on your meds this time. Sometimes it helps to take your meds with a meal because it's easier to remember. And since Latuda has to be taken with a meal, it may help you stick to your meds!

Getting out of the hospital and facing the big bad world can be overwhelming. I too am experiencing overlapping thoughts, racing thoughts. Latuda and lamictal didn't work for mania. I'm on Geodon and have my fingers crossed. It'd be great if the Latuda worked for you. Are you still on Lithium. I hated the dry mouth, weight gain, shaking and out of body feeling of Lithium. Glad you're back home. God only gave us one day to worry about and that's this one. Remembering that eases my mind.

Glad you're back home.
Do you have someone who can stay with you?
When I got out a retired nurse from my girlfriends church agreed to come by 3 half days a week. I didn't appreciate it, but she kept me med compliant. Cooked. Made sure I ate.
Reminded me if I didn't put forth all of the discipline I could muster I'd be back in ip.
I really hate the hospital.
It was extremely difficult, but I could see the point.

HUGS, getting discharged and transitioning back into every day life on new meds is tough. Take your time and be kind to yourself
