  Hi everyone. I posted a while ago about lamotrigine, and I ended up having a reaction to it. I was prescribed latuda about 6 weeks ago, and started on 20mg for a month and was just upped to 40mg 2 weeks ago. my psychiatrist and I agreed that I seem to be very sensitive to drugs, and this confirmed it for me. The exhaustion is ridiculous after I take it, and I have also been in a depressive episode for a couple weeks, although I felt it rising into some sort of hypomania the past couple days, so...

  Hi everyone. I am a college sophomore and pretty recently diagnosed. I feel as though now that I know that the symptoms I have been experiencing have been mental illness, I am trying to go easier on myself, but it's so hard. I used to beat myself up over the mood swings because I had no control over them and it frustrated me a lot. That being said, I have been trying to be easy on myself. I started Latuda a week ago and it has yet to kick in. I have major tests coming up, and it's been really...

  I don't really know how to describe this in a way that will make sense but I felt like it was worth a shot. Sometimes when my mood is high it becomes too much and my head feels so noisey and loud inside. I know I need to calm down and ground myself but I haven't figured out a good, productive way to do that and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas? I feel like my energy is completely taking me over and it's just too overwhelming. I'm not in a bad mood, I'm just feeling a LOT.

  Recently, all the feelings and mood swings that I have been feeling forever have been worse than ever for the past year or so, and I finally went to a psychiatrist. My therapist and I agreed I had cyclothymia, and the psychiatrist agreed. After having an intense depressive episode, I started lamictal, a mood stabilizer. A week in, when it was starting to kick in and my hopes were up, I developed an intense rash, a rare side effect. I had to stop the drug immediately, obviously, and quickly...
