Is anyone here taking latuda? If so has it made you depressed/irritable?

It makes me VERY irritable!!!! What do you take it for? I take it for BP. I have to take it with ativan to calm me down and before bed so I don't get to anxious iritable because it makes me PISSED.

I was taking it for psychosis, but a stopped because i didnt like being irritable and depressed. It also made me anxious in like the first hour after I take it.

I started about 2 weeks ago and I've been doing pretty well. I think theres a bit more clarity in my thoughts, but I can't really tell. I usually fall asleep right after taking it, without feeling drowsy first...I just immediately pass out. I wake up and get really hungry and anxious, and this is the cycle i've been on for a while now. I take my pill, fall asleep, wake up, start eating, and feel like walking around in circles extremely anxious (not in a paranoid way, but antsy to go do something). Today I feel asleep and had a strange dream where I wasn't sure what was going on or what I was doing, but I was almost mad and frustrated in the dream because I couldn't figure out what I was trying to do (if that makes sense?) Like, I couldn't find in my thoughts what I was supposed to be doing and it seemed really important. I take a xanax to calm down but it doesn't really help. Anyone else out there getting this extreme antsy-ness? Its hard to describe...I can also feel a little irritable but in a weird way, as if I don't have enough time to listen to what someones saying...more frustration I think, just because I feel so antsy. Latuda wasn't supposed to cause weight gain, but I've definitely get the munchies (very disappointing since I switched to latuda from lithium because of weight gain), but I feel like if I try taking my prescribed adderall more regularly (I'm not ADD, just prescribed for attention help when needed ever since beginning lamictal), it might help curb the cravings and keep me awake. I took it yesterday when I was feeling antsy, but I think I was more sensitive to it at first because I haven't taken it in so long, anyway I definitely felt like that antsy-ness had subsided, and I didnt need the xanax. I got alot done and my thoughts were much more organized, and I could pay attention to what I was trying to do without feeling so antsy (I really can't find another word to describe it). Its awful, this feeling of restlessness but tired at the same time, I seriously just feel like walking around in circles...thats all I can say. I'll be back when my attentions on a better wavelength. Anyone out there that feels this way? GAHH!
