Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
Has anyone experienced an increase of hypomania while on Latuda? I've been experiencing it more often and in a little higher range. And I'm cycling up and down, skipping the "normals" in-between.
It was supposed to soften the effects of depression. So far it has done that, the depressions haven't been dangerously low lately. But the rise in hypomania was not expected. We (my Pdoc and I) recently lowered my dose but things are the same except the hypomania lasted 1 week instead of 3.
Anyone else have an unexpected result from Latuda?
Any thoughts?

Mom and I have errands to run this morning. She said we can get sushi for lunch though. I go back to work today. What are you looking forward to this weekend?

Quick, before the evil MONday gets here! Let's climb those mountains, dance in the meadows, dip our feet in the ocean....Okay, so most of us won't be doing any of That. Sadly. But today can still be a great day!The area behind our back fence is on an incline, with less than two feet on even ground at the top. I don't balance well enough for the incline, but our mower guy mows that...
Best wishes.
Not a good med for me
I was on 80 mg and stayed quite hypomanic for 3 weeks. Then dipped down to depression. Then went back up. Now I'm down to 40 mg and the fairly high range was shorter. I think today I might finally be normal. I haven't experienced it in so long I'm not entirely sure yet. But that is the goal.
