I started out with 40mg., and it produced "the fear"-- I can't describe it. An irrevocable feeling of terror that lasted all day. Imagining thinking of every life choice you've made and questioning it. Imagine not wanting to leave bed. Literally trying to think of anything but the negative thought patterns erupting in your head over and over. I'm surprised I decided to go to 80mg., but I thought a dosage increase would somehow alleviate the symptoms. Like a miracle, I got better. A lot better!! I don't understand how this could be. It's like now I'm "into" my life choices and proud of the person I am now thanks to Latuda, but the initial dosage made me hate myself? How? I'm not sure, but the pharmacology of the medicine is really interesting; I think it is robust for my bipolar depression symptoms.
I hope you get better, Scott.
