I suddenly feel like my Latuda isnt working anymore. I feel like very aggitated in mixed states of slight mania and depression. Ive been on it almost 10 years. I was going to ask my Dr about changing my medication. Has anyone ever had this happen to them with Latuda or another medication after long term use? Thank you.

Hi @mmf2022, thank you for sharing with us. That must be really stressful feeling like a medication you rely on isn't doing what it should. Let me tag some other members who can possibly share with you.

Hi everyone, how are you today?

Have you ever had Latruda or any other medication for bipolar disorder stop working? How long had you been on it before it happened? Did you replace it with another medication? Which one?

Take care,

Courtney

@Classycathy Absolutely! Try the cannabis pens. The come in Sativa (energetic high), Indica (a mellow and relaxing high) or blends. You can read on the box to see what the strain type is so you don’t grab the wrong one. I use Indica during my manic episodes. While it doesn’t completely rid me of the mania, but it definitely helps and gives me some relief. I believe you can buy them online. Our friends usually have them on hand so we get ours that way. Good luck!🍀
