Hi, Hugh.
> You were doing quite a bit better until your appendix ruptured last year, weren't you? Did you recover fully and then start declining five months ago, or have you never felt the same since your hospitalization?
Immediately after recovering from the appendix rupture, I was still partially improved while taking Parnate. This was about a year ago. It wasn't until I discontinued Parnate five months ago that I suffered a complete relapse.
My doctor and I thought that it was worth trying Latuda again. I tried it several years ago, but complained of negative effects on my mood. However, I was taking Abilify at the time, and I thought that perhaps these effects were due to taking too much antipsychotic. I took 20 mg of Latuda yesterday morning. The first half of the day was better. Of course, I don't know why. I woke up today feeling slowed-down and with depressed mood and thoughts of suicide. I took another 20 mg of Latuda this morning. It didn't occur to me that these things might be due to Latuda until after I took it. I am afraid that I might suffer more over the next few days. The half-life of Latuda is 18-40 hours.
