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.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
