Hi all, I was recently diagnosed bipolar 2 after years of being misdiagnosed... My psychiatrist put me on 20mg of Latuda which we just increased to 40mg. I was doing well on 20mg for a month or so until it kind of just wore off and we upped the dosage.
Well we upped to 40mg a few days ago and I am having awful rage and irritability. One of my main symptoms was major irritability stemming from hypomania/mixed episodes, so I’m really not enjoying this. It’s got me to the point of having to get it out physically, throwing things, punching the wall..
I already contacted my psych but wondering if this is normal and will go away, or if this just isn’t the right med for me? This is my first time trying any kind of med aside from an SSRI/SNRI (which was of course making me worse) for regular ol’ depression so I’m not too sure what’s considered par for the course. Feeling a bit discouraged as I was feeling pretty good on the 20mg until I wasn’t…. Thanks!
