Pdoc thought that my long-term SSRI (celexa 10 mgs) was causing bipolar instability despite my lamictal. We started me on Latuda and tapered me off celexa. I felt GREAT...emotionally open, not in a rage.
But the Latuda (also still with Lamictal) started to really fog me up and make me feel disconnected. So I stopped on Tuesday. without the fog I felt GREAT again...for a few days.
The dizzy/zappy feeling each time I move my eyes is through the roof but i can deal with that (SSRI withdrawl I'm guessing) But the rage (which we thought was a celexa/lamictal thing) has been through the roof progressively.
Yesterday and today just angry as all hell at everything. I kicked my cat...hard.
Pdoc urged me NOT to fiddle with meds (as I am want to do always) and I'm not sure if this is a withdrawl from Celexa or just the emotional poison I have to deal with, but there's no way I can see clients come Monday like this. I will lose my sh+t!
I am thinking about adding 10 mgs of Latuda back in...perhaps to help with withdrawls, or maybe I need it because my mood instability/cyclothymia/bipolar (unofficial) is taking me over.
I never got angry like this on therapeutic doses of Celexa...perhaps impulsive.
Anywhooo...help?
