Does Latuda Cause Depression?

I wanted to see if Latuda can make you have depression if you didn t have it before starting? I had severe anxiety, was finally diagnosed with bipolar and was told this should help with my anxiety. After starting it did help with anxiety but I got severe depression and Suicidal Thoughts and since have been having really bad depression that makes me scared everyday. I was told to double up from 20 to 40 mg and after day 3 of that it got even worse I wasn t able to sleep I felt so nervous and even when I try to take a nap it felt like my body was asleep but my mind was not. I wanted to see if he s really were from the medicine I m thinking about getting off of it
