- 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....
- It's been a little while (a month), since the hypomania has actually reached a mid range level (just below my danger zone), but this time there isn't a trace of irritability. Nope. This time it is joy and a good libido and energy and a drive to...
- Well, I'm gearing up for an invasion of my safe place, my home, and over stimulation everyday for a month with no break.My sis-in-law and brother-in-law are arriving tomorrow and staying for a week--lots of activity. Being I'm entertaining company,...
- I saw my Pdoc today and told him I've been irritable, having headaches for the first time in years, and slightly nauseous since being on the higher dose of Latuda (80 mg). I'm also cycling like crazy which makes me question if the tegretol...
- I know some studies have shown that some folks with bipolar have trouble reading faces.But what about this--does anyone experience anything like this--- yesterday my husband told me about a conversation with a man whose wife is experiencing anxiety...
- I know how important it is for us to take our meds but I am so FRUSTRATED and cycling like crazy again. Well I've had Latuda added to my meds cocktail since March 5th. We worked up to 80 mg. Initially I thought it might be working because I...
- Hi All. When I'm hypomanic, halfway up the manic scale, I don't *feel* it except that I'm happy for a change. It seems as if that's how life should be--I feel "normal", it seems so anyway. But its not - I'm sleeping less - not enough actually. ...
- My husband, my family doc and my psychiatrist have all been telling me since I was diagnosed in 2009 that I should exercise. They said it would help me with my bipolar swings as well as help me lose weight. I've been resistant. I work so hard at...
- I haven't felt this way in 5 or 6 years. I am so manic, I recognize the symptoms, but of course going through it it feels great, exhilarating and I don't want it to end. I've got lots of energy, hypersexual, can't keep my clothes on--I go naked...

- Ive been very agitated today. hubby went golfing with a friend today, which is a good thing. I had hoped to have the day to myself but the friends wife (my friend) came over with her grandson about 3:30. We left to go out to dinner with the guys...
- Hi all,My Pdoc and his colleague have determined that I must have biologically induced seizure-like activity. MRIs and other tests have not revealed epilepsy or brain damage, thus their diagnosis.I guess the diagnosis disqualifies me for membership...
- Please pray. PsychDr started me on an additional med to suppress mood swings but since starting it two weeks ago, my anxiety has become constant whereas prior it was occasional. I was suicidal on Sunday (9/7) and Monday. Monday, I packed a...
- Hi. I had (and have had in the past) an odd experience of getting tripped up in the middle of a sentence. I'll be talking, think I know what I'm saying, but at some point I seem sort of fuzzy like I'm a step back in a dream. When I snap back, my...
- Hi everyone. I did as many of you recommended and returned to my Psych. I had been keeping a journal of my moods, how rapidly they swing and my feelings. After some thought and conversation, he feels certain I have cyclothymia (otherwise...
