I am so manic and it is the mean kind-things come out of my mouth that hurt before I have a chance to think. Also, I feel like I am bouncing everywhere.
Unfortunately the behaviors are noticed, but I won't go into that. I just added Latuda to my drugs, switching out a couple of ad's. I am at 80 mg now. I have suffered the regular side effects, but I can't find mania anywhere in my research. I don't really want to go to the hospital, but for the first time in long time, I am so totally miserable I am considering it. I am not considering harming myself, I just feel so miserable with pressure on the inside, plus I am not a good mother or wife now. I can't even imagine what I am acting like as a teacher. My pdoc isn't available. She is with her sick daughter. My therapist pretty much told me I was horrible last week, not in reference to the mania but to something I said to a coworker. Help! I need to figure out a way for someone to like me again! I am cutting out the Latuda. I don't have a doctor now so I'm prescribing it myself. Bluemountains |

I think latuda is supposed to act more on depression than mania. Which to me says it could cause mania, though that's just a hunch on my part.

Please go to the ER. You don't want to destroy relationships, you don't have a pdoc right now let the ER pdoc help you. I'm pretty sure they wont keep you because you're not a danger. You could always go to urgent care to help too.

Did your pdoc make any plans for a back up while she's gone? Would it help if you dropped the dosage on the Latuda instead of eliminating it? If the mania continues at the same level or worse....please seek help. I hope you feel better soon. Thinking of you....

If I understand you correctly you are on ADs those are the ones you should consider quitting not the Latuda.

I am so sorry you are feeling this way. I can't advise on medications as I'm not a doctor and have a terrible record myself with quitting medscold turkey but I do want to warn you that quitting can cause withdrawal symptoms which make things much worse. Please be careful. Going to the ER sounds like a good idea. (((Hugs)))

I'm sorry you're feeling bad. I would recommend going to the ER to address your symptoms now. Please consider waiting until you see a doctor to tweak your meds. Then you can follow up with your regular pdoc.

My pdoc's practice are only two people. The standard is go to the er if there is a problem. I don't think my problem is er material, but I will go tomorrow if things don't get better. It's just a lot of money to work with doctors who know very little. I took 40 mg instead of 80 tonight. I emailed my therapist and pdoc hoping to hear from them soon, although the weekend will make that a few days away. Mainly I think I would like to get out of work for a few days. I can't work with children next week. I already have the paperwork, but it is at the pdoc's office and she's not there! I'll get it worked out. Bluemountains |

If you can't be around children and you know it you need to listen to your gut. Please reach out and go to the ER, even if it's only to get a note off work for awhile. (((Hugs)))

So here's the follow up. I spent a couple of nights in the hospital-not by choice of course. Then the hospital decided I am well enough to attend the day program, which I have been going to for two days now. I have a ways to go, and I have to work hard because the psychiatric hospital is just across the street, and I don't want to go back, As for work, I went on Family Medical Leave.
Thanks for helping me out. Bluemountains |
