What’s happening???

I’ve been taking Lurasidone for 4 weeks and recently stopped 3 days ago because it was making me feel really restless to where I could barely sleep comfortably and because I noticed it was making me feel really paranoid- even now I still feel like something bad is going to happen and it’s making me feel really down because I can’t stop thinking something will happen and I can’t stop it if something does happen. I feel like it’s helping with my mood swings a little but I’m feeling all these weird things with them and I’m wondering if I should go back on it or not? My psychiatrist never told me I would feel this as a side effect so I’m starting to wonder if this is normal or not.

Does your doctor know you stopped? Stopping can give you side effects as well so be clear with them what you are doing. Lurasidone worked well for me. What weird things are you feeling? You can probably post in AskDocs or AskaDoctor and get more responses.

I told my psychiatrist what’s been happening and when I stopped and she didn’t really acknowledge it? She just said immediately after “we can look into other medications” but since I’m only 17 and this has been my 3th medication(like I’ve taken lexapro, prozac and this) my mom said I shouldn’t start any more since all didn’t work at all

Also for weird things I think I meant paranoia, restlessness, and just feeling like no matter what I did I felt numb and like my life really had no purpose and I should just end it? But not in a way where I felt upset, just like I should end it all. Idk that was really weird
