medicine helps, but it also hurts
Does anyone know why i am having these problems?
Recently i was bumped to 900mg of lithium, i am bipolar 1 with rapid* cycling, initially lithium was a life saver and i was on only 200 mg twice a day. But they noticed baseline symptoms so they raised the dose, but i keep having these issues where my mind is running so fast it just feels like it can’t stop thinking, it’s not like mania but it feels very annoying, but i’m having some issues with the antipsychotic i take, Latuda, i hate it so much, it zaps my brain and makes my thinking feel so slow, even now this paragraph is so hard. they bumped my Latuda up because of some hypomania i had, so now i’ve quit taking it and have now had depression for almost a week. i just hate the way the antipsychotic makes me feel, it even restricts my ability to sing and make music. what should i even tell my doctor? i feel like the problem child always having an issue with the meds. i don’t want my brain to feel mushed but i also don’t want to feel sad. help would be appreciated.
