Is it possible to feel extra emotional after just missing one dose of medication? I missed my Latuda yesterday, felt okay this morning, but feelings of depression hit me really hard starting this afternoon. I'm feeling really bad right now: hopeless, on the verge of tears, unworthy, as if life is just going to continue to get worse for me, nobody cares, etc. I am wondering if this is a coincidence, or if anyone else has noticed mood swings after just missing medication once?

IMO yes. If I forget to take any of my meds in the morning I can feel it by mid afternoon. I will feel weepy and off.

Definitely. I also feel physical withdrawal symptoms after a few hours if I miss a dose of a medication.

From my experience, yes. Especially if I miss my evening medications. I think in my case the effect does depend on what medication(s) I miss/don't take.

Interesting. I did not know whether it was just in my head or not.

I do OK if I miss my morning meds once in a while. I'm a mess if I forget my nighttime pills though, that's when I take my sleep med and antipsychotics along with others. No bueno.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
