Withdrawal symptoms?

[koali777]

I realized this morning that I had completely forgotten to take Latuda 2 days ago (so I didn't have it in my system all day yesterday). I only know this because I counted the pills and honestly don't remember taking it that night, as I stayed up until 3 AM. Anyway, can withdrawal symptoms happen super fast, or am I having breakthrough symptoms? For about 8 hours yesterday, I was pacing, restless, so hyper I had to keep moving like weird things like making strange sounds and moving my legs or arms, I was euphoric then horribly depressed, then terribly agitated. It really freaked me out because I felt absolutely out of control. Screaming helped. Could that have happened from one day without it? I took it last night and I feel okay today. But I'm disturbed...I wanted to kill myself, it was so unpleasant.

I'd say that it can have a pretty quick onset, at least that's similar to what happened when I stopped taking Zyprexa, not quite as bad as what you're saying, but I personally believe that could be it. Are you ok now?

Yeah I haven't heard of it that bad either... But yes I'm fine now, it's like it never happened, very weird. I didn't hear voices or have delusions so I wouldn't say it was my worst state, but it was certainly my worst agitated state I've ever had. It felt like I'd drank 10 coffees. But the depression too... Glad it's over I'm not out of meds, it was just a stupid mistake on my part.

I would say that you are probably having breakthrough symptoms. I think resuming your med will eliminate your symptoms. If it doesn't stop after a day or two, I'd call the pdoc.
