Default hi again

Hi again TBI/PTSD,

Your doctor sounds wonderful! It is so important to have someone who listens!

Wow, you have tried quite a few different drugs. I sure hope this one works out for you. I've tried several too - the antipsychotic (AP) that worked best for me was Zyprexa, but I couldn't handle that because of the weight gain. My current mood stabilizer is Depakote but that works mostly to prevent mania.

Hopefully the anger and anxiety from yesterday are just a bump in the road. In case you are wondering, it is highly unlikely that the Latuda caused those sx. It's likely that that you are still not quite leveled out. From your post, the Latuda does seem to have helped a little, so far. That is good.

Some APs are only effective on activation sx in higher dosage ranges. If that is the case with Latuda, there is lots of room for improvement here, as long as you tolerate it well. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

I wish you well with this new med!
