I gain as a reward in Gourmet life the receipe of restaurant servono cart. I had the backpack full, ok. So I found in the mailbox as usually if it happens, I claimed but there is not! There is not in the fornitures receipes, no in building modality, nore in kitchen receipes (it should be very strange but I tried all I could try). What can J do?
The extreme ME-like fatigue has decreased significantly; I only experience crashes every now and then. Even the constant fever now only returns occasionally. POTS, however, is still present. I’ve had alopecia since my first bout of COVID in 2020. For some time now, however, gastrointestinal symptoms have also appeared. Foods that didn’t bother me at all before now trigger either severe nausea and headaches, or vomiting (this recently happened with game: after a dinner, my stomach was swollen as if I were six months pregnant, and at 3 a.m. I woke up vomiting everything up), or intestinal pain and alternating constipation and diarrhea. I get gastritis if I drink wine or coffee. I’m almost certain this is another symptom of long COVID. As soon as one symptom goes away, another one starts. It’s as if my body has become extremely fragile. Do you think it makes more sense to see an allergist to see if histamine is involved, or to see a gastroenterologist?
This. More, I fell so flat, with anedhonia and most of the time depressed, no emotions, no even capability of crying. Neither in a funeral. Neither in Major depressione, and I am in It from october.
So I asked to get out of this med. My doctor say ok (I take 300 mg of a mood regulator too), and She told me: you are on 20 mg, you can stop cold Turkey. WTF. I answered that I was scared, She told me One day yes One day off. I also asked her: but, Is It true that I have tò take Latuda with 350 kcal? No, Is not important. Because I have take It every morning from 3 years with a coffee only. It's ok, She said.
I asked her if I could cut the pill in 2 part instead of one day yes one day not, because of scare of mood disregulation (documented). She said ok.
It seem that she says ok to everything I say, so I wonder why I spend 80 dollars for 15 minutes of "ok". Is It more competent IA?
God, I read here that Is strictly recomended tò assume Latuda with 350 kcal! So the amount of Latuda I was takin for last 3 years was like 10 mg??
My doctor lives me alone in this tapering. I have decided to cut the pill in two part, but I started to take It after lunch. So...Am I taking the same amount of before now? I mean: for 3 years Latuda with a coffee only, now half of It but 350 kcal.
I am really confused. I have had withdrawal symptoms the second week, irritability, mentali acatisia and rage, then like normality (=Major depression that maybe Is worsening but I am not sure).
I am wondering now if It was Latuda that made/makes me without emotions or if It Is the High dose of Lamotrigine or of It Is my cptsd worsen or the wrong psychoterapy.
I am really confused now. I am on bed. The only sign I have received from my psychiatrist in this month of tapering has been, yesterday, the Bill.
I would like to come back in 2019 when I took only 5 drops of a sedative, 100 mg of Lamotrigine and klnopin. Now I am a zombie.
Bipolar 2, so most of the time depressed even if I take meds. But with comorbility with severe terrible cptsd symptoms that destroy me both if I am in depression both if I am not. Only in hypomania cptsd seems to desappear but it is a "fake". I live from 39 years in this conditions and I really can stand it no more. I have done severale form of psychoterapy, no one has helped me for cptsd. Bipolar depression is 9 months per year. It is not a life. Hypomania is only 10 days per year and not dangerous
Hi everyone, I started taking Latuda two and a half years ago. At first it seemed like it was simply helping me with post-traumatic distress, but over time I realized I had fallen into anhedonia, along with an inability to laugh, cry, or express emotions. Even in non-depressed moments, I felt very little. I didn’t feel like myself anymore. It didn’t even help with bipolar depression. I was only taking 20 mg, but I’m very sensitive to the side effects of all medications.
I spoke to my psychiatrist. She told me, “you can stop it.” Honestly, I don’t understand why most psychiatrists either reduce too quickly or even casually tell you to stop a medication cold turkey as if there were no risk. I told her I was scared to stop it from one day to the next, and she suggested taking it every other day for a month. Then I looked online and everyone says that doing it this way creates a harmful “roller coaster” effect for the brain—one day you give it one signal, the next day another. So I asked if I could cut the dose instead, and she said yes.
The first week was fine, but for the past two days I’ve been feeling very nervous and irritable. Today I feel really negatively activated, with anger—I feel like I could explode. I’m in an “environmental and relational” situation that makes me feel bad, but the feeling that used to accompany it was sadness and frustration, not anger. Also, before taking this medication I didn’t have this issue, so it’s clear this is a withdrawal symptom, not a rebound.
I’ve read that for some people it was hell, while for others maybe not. For those who have experienced symptoms like this or others, how long did they last? I’m more worried about causing distress and problems for others than for myself. Even though I warned my partner this might happen, unless someone completely loses control, it just seems like I’m “angry,” not that it’s due to the dose reduction. I also have a history of self-harm (many years ago), and I definitely wouldn’t want to turn this anger against myself.
