How long should one expect to give a medication like Latuda to work? In this case for bipolar depression. I have another week at 40mg, and the doctor has a week at 80mg planned.
It's very difficult not to despair. If 40mg feels like sh*t, why 80mg? I didn't have the hutzpah to ask my doctor so directly over the phone last night.
Maybe down is just not quite done yet, and no pill will abbreviate the descent. Except the sort that would make
everything worse in the long run.Could 80mg have an advantage over 40mg? Wouldn't there be a whiff of improvement already, like someone left a window open somewhere, even if it was a tiny opening in the basement?
