Hi there - I know there are a million other posts about this but just looking to have my experience validated. I’ve been on Latuda for a week now (also using trazodone and Xanax as PRN). I had a glass of wine last night at dinner and I felt like I was ON ONE. Like could have been messy drunk if I wasn’t at a dinner table. It wasn’t the same drunk feeling I was used to. Has anyone else experienced this? I’ve never done coke, but I truly was like is this what it feels like? I feel like I may just give up alcohol if that’s what it is because this could be dangerous.

TLDR - what led to your diagnosis? (25F)

Hi there - completely new to this and was unaware of BP2 for the longest time, I had only considered BP1 in the realm of BP. I may be entering this world.

I grew up in a rough situation that has led to CPTSD and ongoing mental health struggles from age 12 on. I thought I had PMDD and got on Prozac, but that lost efficacy despite various increases that would lead to weeks long crashes/panic/derealization episodes. They would temporarily respond to medication changes and then come back.

I’m now in my third SSRI attempt (along with heavy reliance on Xanax and hydroxyzine for Prn) and my psychiatrist is questioning my anxiety diagnosis. I was asked if I had a history of hypomania, but I had never heard of it till now and have been reflecting on various episodes I’ve had wondering about what those were.

All that to say there’s a lot more I didn’t include, but am just curious what this looked like for other people. I’m trying to avoid confirmation bias but am just trying to learn.
