Back from inpatient

It was pretty good. I feel a lot better. I found out I was taking my meds at the wrong time and that’s what was making me sleep all the time and become super depressed.

Has anyone else felt super weird returning to society? My phone is annoying me now that I’ve been without it. I didn’t miss it.

That’s awesome that u feel better. Also… I had the same issue with latuda…when I took it in the day I was miserable…when I switched to bed time I hardly feel that feeling you get with the med!

Yup it was latuda. I take it at night now. Jeeze I was super miserable but I honestly thought it was my new neurological issue making me tired. I didn’t even think it was the med because when I take it at night I get insomnia. So now I’m also on a sleep aid

Happy you’re feeling better and that you feel safe now. :slight_smile:

My current med Loxapine is sort of like that. If I take it in the mornings I just sleep all day and feel very spaced out. So I just take it at nights.

Do you have to take latuda with food?

Edit: yes you do, here’s what A.I. says

Yes, it’s important to take Latuda (lurasidone) with food. Specifically, you should take it with a meal that contains at least 350 calories. This helps your body absorb the medication more effectively, almost doubling the amount absorbed and increasing blood levels of Latuda at their peak nearly threefold¹².

If you have any concerns about how to take your medication, it’s always a good idea to discuss them with your doctor or pharmacist. How are you finding Latuda so far?

While I don’t support the use of medical advice via AI, this 350 calorie thing is actually correct. You should take it at dinnertime. I was on it for a month and stopped eating much and it just wasn’t working at all. Then a couple months back started taking it with food and am no longer psychotic.
