Out of the blue

Deep depression all of a sudden came out of nowhere and hit me like a ton of bricks!

And I was doing so well being depression free all these months.

I may call my pdoc and ask to take some Latuda.

She mentioned adding some Latuda to my current cocktail of Risperdal and Depakote.

I’m so tired of this.

She also mentioned Wellbutrin but I can’t take antidepressants.

Apparently Latuda has strong antidepressant properties.

Thanks @GrayBear

It’s a constant struggle. I’m sorry wave.

If latuda has antidepressant qualities then it’s a good idea.

Also what about increasing the dose of Depakote?

This could be another option my doctor may consider.

I’m feeling a little better and I really don’t want to take more meds.

I’ll see how I do tomorrow

I’m glad you’re feeling a little better and I understand not wanting to take meds but if you have to Latuda is a good one to try. I took it and it didn’t give me medicine head.

I was pretty anxious at the time, but I don’t remember if it made it worse or not. Latuda ended up not being the right med for me but I do remember it didn’t give me medicine head compared to the others I had been on at the time.
