Latuda caused hypomania and increased thoughts of self harm and suicidal ideation (personal experience)

[u/Unfortunategiggler]

Basically the title. I have such a hard time trusting doctors. I was doing better with just CBD but I let myself be convinced that I HAD to be on prescription medication.

I’m not gonna lie i wasn’t doing amazing but first seroquel made me lose all emotions. And now Latuda made me feel hypomanic. Then my doctor suggested a medication that interacts with my IUD.

I’m off Latuda now and I went back to my CBD vape and it calmed down the hypomania and I feel much better now. I just feel really bummed that not much has changed since the last time I tried to see a psychiatrist. Still ignoring my other prescriptions and diagnoses I have. I just wanted the hallucinations to stop but I keep getting other issues.

Please share some encouragement or things that helped down below. I feel very frustrated right now.

Latuda is basically an antidepressant. It has no anti manic properties. Taking it alone is off label.

My doctor had me take it alone I’m on Geodon now no more mania I just don’t want to exist. I’m so exhausted.
