| 5 | Bipolar 1 and Schizoaffective | None so far. | I am seeing a new psych dr for schizoaffective disorder and he suggested this med to try to cut down on hallucinations. So far, so good. I like it. It has a calming effect like Xanax. | F | 58 | 2 weeks 40mg 1X day | 11/14/2023 | 1 | Insomnia | My face got locked with an open mouth. I was making all kind of involuntary movements. I couldn't pee. I was making involuntary sounds. My eyelids had a droopy look. Red eyes. I couldn't stop pacing. I started to have suicidal thoughts. I was crying loudly with a feeling of despair and desperation. I kept coughing involuntary. My heart and pulse were fast. The worst feeling. I took charcoal pills, cilantro pills , magnesium citrate and lots of water with lemon and slowly the side effects were diminishing. | Is an evil pill | M | 33 | 1 days 60 1X day | 10/10/2023 | 1 | Depression Anxiety | Awful suicidal feelings I have never felt this bad | Hopefully psych puts me back on olanzopine | M | 60 | 4 weeks 80mg 1X day | 9/24/2023 | 1 | Bipolar | Doctor tapered me too fast off Latuda and now I have all kinds of issues. New symptoms include grinding of teeth, jaw clenching, cracking jaw, flu like symptoms, nausea, vomiting, muscle aches, muscle twitches and spasms, itching, headaches/migraines, diarrhea, irritability, fatigue, chills/sweats, brain fog, and more. My symptoms of Akathisia and Insomnia are unbearable now after being tapered from 80mg (was at 120mg for awhile!) down by 20mg each month. Was told to stop at 20mg. 7 months later I'm still experiencing withdrawal. | F | 40 | 5 years 80 1X day | 6/22/2023 | 1 | Bipolar | Emotional numbness, total lack of motivation to take take care of myself or the house, cook, or go anywhere. I barely spoke, lost my creativity and emotional connection to music. I had trouble thinking and remembering. | I've been off for over a year and am slowly getting better but I lost years of my life and my personality. I'm not suicidal but I'm not sure it's worth it. | F | 51 | 5 years 80 mh 1X day | 3/4/2023 | 1 | Depression and Bipolar | Unwanted energy, akathesia. Restlessness. Nightly anxiety attacks | It’s too bad because it’s helping my depression. | F | 49 | 3 months 40 mg, 20 1X day | 1/24/2023 | 1 | Bi polar and skitofective disorder | Extremely dizzy extremely irritable Those are the only ones I can remember before blacked out. | I call it death med. Because I almost died while taking it. A Dr in a hospital put me on it. But did not take me off of the SSRI med I was on. Ended up on the hospital with serotonin syndrome. So now I have it down as an alergy . Taking Seroquel now much much better. Hardly any bad side effects. | F | 2 weeks 20mgs 1X O | 9/29/2022 | 5 | Bipolar 2 | some shaking and severe anxiety which had to be addressed | This was a game changer for me. On 40 mg it made me very anxious but help really well with the depression. I was put on lexapro for the anxiety because it has a sedating affect on me and it worked. We played with both doses for a while and settled on 40mg latuda and 10 lexapro and that was the secret sause for me, I wouldnt change anything. | M | 54 | 6 years 40mg 1X day | 8/20/2022 | 3 | Bipolar Depression | Sleepiness/Knocks me out. Weight gain - you have to take it with 350 calories. | It completely lifted my depression for about a week and flatlined after that. | M | 50 | 3 months 20 MG 1X day | 6/22/2022 | 4 | OCD, Major Depression, Anxiety | Extremely tired (had to take before bed), nausea, vomiting, weight gain | It helped tremendously with intrusive thoughts and depression, but the vomiting became too much. It was too much stress on my body I took it off and on for a year and a half before I decided that it was time to switch. | F | 26 | 0 days 40 | 6/5/2022 | 2 | Bi polar | The restlessness was unbearable. Increased my anxiety and appetite way more than any other drug I've been on. | M | 53 | 1 months 40 1X day | 5/1/2022 | 5 | Bipolar depression | Stiffness | It's changed my life ! Saving my life ! I now want to be apart of life , experience life . No psychosis, no intrusive thoughts .No Paranoia . No delusions . Love it ! I think I'm gonna give my psych a virtual hug | F | 45 | 14 days 40mg 1X day | 4/26/2022 | 2 | Bipo2, depression | I've only taken one pill and I'm already noticing akathisia, I don't stay put at all and do a thousand things at once. I also find that I am more anxious. Feels like im in drugs. (Google translation) | I hope these side effects go away or are just a placebo. I have already tried so many different medicines that I am starting to get really bored and anxious about this situation. I hope this medicine helps me. | F | 31 | 1 days 18.5 1X day | 3/31/2022 | 5 | BP II depression | Sometimes restless, restless legs around bedtime, night sweats (but also in menopause so it's likely just contributing factor) | So far this has been a game changer! I was rapid cycling to 2 weeks of depression every month and tired of the cycle-so bad at points I wouldn't shower, couldn't go to work or barely get out of bed. But with the Latuda it was almost immediately the opposite - within a few doses I was motivated again, interested in doing things around the house, and leaving it to run errands, etc. I do have concerns about negative possible side effects so am being watchful for them but at this point I'm happy my Dr prescribed and doing extremely well | F | 51 | 7 weeks 20mg 1X day | 3/23/2022 | 5 | BPD1 w/ Dysphoric Mania | 20mg instantly made the worst symptoms I had go away. The doc and I went to 40 after a week and I still have had some anger/depression abnd panic attacks. Since I'm avoiding stimulants and benzos we're going to 60mg. Mostly a wonder drug for me, and I hope if you need it to be it works as well. | M | 36 | 1 months 40 mg 1X day | 10/21/2021 | 2 | Bi polar | Hair falling out, feel more angry, it did help with heel pain from neuropathy just got done crying and calling myself ugly and don't feel like being on earth. I know if doses upped I will get side effects as with every other drug in this class. | F | 55 | 16 days 20 1X day | 10/14/2021 | 2 | Bipolar | Restlessness, insomnia, boredom became pervasive in my life. The extreme highs and lows and suicidal ideation stopped and I started being on time but this came at a cost and I could no longer accept it. I like out saughyeento be moved by this night. Please take care of her. | F | 49 | 2 years 20 1X day | 9/2/2021 | 1 | Bipolar Disorder | Mask like facial expression, Eye Lid tic, Lips smacking, confused, anti-social, dull depressed state, feet constantly move, feeling flat, brain zaps, trouble staying asleep, weight gain, dry hair and skin, anxiety, swollen lips and tongue | F | 64 | 2 years 60 MG 1X day | 7/28/2021 | 2 | Depression | Extreme drowsiness right after taking | F | 26 | 4 months 60 mg 1X day | 7/11/2021 | 5 | Schizoaffective | Weight Gain, Increased Hunger, Breasts more Dense and Heavy, Knocks me out. | Taken combined with Lamotrigine The voices have left. Relief. Sad though since second increase now to 60 mg in less than a year. I've been on many medications. Reactions to most. From trouble breathing (Invega), TD (Haldol, Ambilify), breast lactation (Forgot while in acute ward), circulation where half body numb when laying on side, if on left side, right side numbed, (Invega), tongue rolling (Haldol, Ambilify), difficult swallowing (Haldol), Manic feeling like wanted to jump out if own skin. A sensation so aweful to where you felt yucky in skin. Had to pace non stop until my legs and I collapsed with exhaustion. Medical term starts with an A, forgot it A competent psych told me what others mistakened as mania. I actually suffer from depression but medication before made me too hyper)(Haldol) enlarged liver (Depakote ER), involuntary sounds like horse from wind leaving, hard to explain but embarrassing (Ambilify), upper respiratory in sinuses getting congested had to take allergy medication (Seroquel), coughing from constant mucus projection(Olanzapine). Needless to say not good stuff. But my symptoms are hell, and I wish this stuff was less expensive. It is a miracle worker for me. So gentle, livable side affects considering the hell these past 12 years have been trying other stuff. The negative talk stopped as did the whispers. Helped so much on depression without making me super happy or numb. I still feel emotions which is important but I can deal with it better now. | F | 44 | 11 months 40 1X day | 6/29/2021 |
