Day Three with Latuda
I found a new psych doc within the last week. I have decided to take meds and get my life back on track (finally!).
Doc visit: DR.J is nice and caring she makes sure to listen before speaking, and truly evaluating your concerns...this is not something I've experienced before..usually my docs are only staring at a laptop and I often leave feeling unheard, and un cared for. I thing this is a great time to start, and I lucked out with a appointment within a week, and a cool person for my doctor. ALWAYS FEEL COMFORTABLE, OTHERWISE DO NOT GO BACK , THIS IS ESSENTIAL FOR ACTUALLY BEING EXCITED AND WILLING TO GET HELP.
Day One with Latuda and Hydroxyzine (as needed for sleep): OMG this stuff knocked me out! I took it about I slept till 11am for the first time in YEARS. Though, when I woke up I was so out of it, and SUPER drowsy. I called on my dad to come into the room to assist me in getting up...(yes, I fell on the floor as I rose out of bed, surprised at the dizziness and fatigue.)
I feel great today! *But I know meds aren't going to show their effect till like weeks from now.*
That night , I decided to not take the Hydroxyzine, instead I took only my Latuda. After reading and watching reviews of other patients taking Latuda, I decided that Latuda alone should have a sleepiness effect.
Day Two: Felt good throughout the day, a little irritated, tired, but okay. I couldn't really smoke as much THC as usual though. That's definitely not a bad thing! I felt so much better and not as tired, but definitely wanted to sit around more than usual. EVERYTHING annoyed me.
That night, I took my Latuda alone again.
Day three: April, 22, 2019
