Major Mood Swings

HapaMommy

I’ve been having mood swings for a whole month. This past week I had nothing but constant suicidal thoughts. My husband called my psychiatrist and now he wants to see me Tuesday. I’m nervous because I don’t want to up my meds. After being on Latuda for 6 months I finally got over the nausea and vomiting. I get restless anxiety 2 hours after taking it so I need to take it at bedtime to sleep through the side effects. I hope things go well on Tuesday.

Unfortunately it's not always about what we want, but what's best for us. Hopefully just a dosage adjustment if that's what your Pdoc does won't cause the bad side effects again. He may change one of your other meds. Getting over the suicidal thoughts is definitely important though.

Take care and I hope that things get taken care of on Tuesday so that you can get to a better place.

    I have to say, I've been fairly stable for the past 9 years, except for anxiety issues.  For any who don't know me, before 2017, I was a Mess.  Seriously undermedicated crazy person.And, since I've been stable for so long, I had come to believe I was "cured".  That bipolar just miraculously ended for me....Until last month, when some things started happening that used to happen.  And now I'm...
