| 1 | Bipolar II | Severe nausea, throwing up, "weird/googly" eyes, derealization, drugged, out of it feeling | I am livid at my Dr. for pushing this evil, horrible, nightmare drug on me. I have NEVER EVER had this horrible of an experience with any drug EVER. I only took it one day - here it is 3 days later and I am still in hell and suffering horribly from only taking it ONCE. When I woke up yesterday and today, I had severe, scary feelings of derealization from weird, odd dreams I had the night before. My eyes are STILL feeling weird. I still feel drugged. Can't concentrate or remember anything short term. Can't read. Am still slightly queasy. Yesterday was nauseous all day long. Exactly how long will it take for me to feel normal again??? After only taking this horrible drug ONCE and at such a low dose?? I spoke to the nurse the day I took it and she said to just take a half dose that night, because of the horrible side effects. Yeah right. I'd love to see her and my Dr. go through a fraction of what I went through. Then maybe I'd feel a litte better. | F | 48 | 1 days 20 mg 1X D | 4/20/2013 | 1 | bipolar | I would never take this pill again!!!!...gave me panic attacks, I couldn't sit still, felt like running around cause I was scared and didn't know what to do..this pill is just a nightmare | M | 17 | 1 days | 4/15/2013 | 5 | Schizo-Affective and Schizotypal | None | I can't believe this drug! I don't respond well to atypical anti-psychotics and could only take Thorazine. I lost 10 lbs on Latuda and do not feel sedated! I feel like I have a life now and have not felt this way in many, many years. Finally, a drug that gave me my life back. | F | 30 | 2.5 months 160 1X D | 4/2/2013 | 5 | Bipolar-PTSD | None | F | 42 | 2 years 20mg | 3/26/2013 | 5 | Bi-Polar 1 | F | 41 | 4 months 80 mg 1X D | 3/12/2013 History | 4 | Bipolar, PTSD | No side effects whatsoever thus far. | I am still in the very beginning phase of taking this drug after going off Abilify (it did little for me other than put 30 pounds on me despite vigorous daily exercise). The plan is to increase next week to 40 mg but I have to say even at 20, I am feeling the edge soften a little and cannot wait to see what higher dosage will do for me. | F | 46 | 2 weeks 20 mg 1X D | 2/24/2013 | 1 | bi-polar 2 / adhd | Felt like my blood sugar dropped...light headed, feeling that eating something would help, overly sleepy mid-afternoon (naps aren't my thing) but I'd have to nap. The worst is it took me to Hell! I was still a bit blue then, in the snap of a finger, I was in Hell...couldn't be around anyone, felt that I needed to go check into the hospital with a 24 hr watch & saw the words "suicide" circling my head. Where I had no plan, I felt I was being pushed down further into an abyss. My hands have tremors & they're not going away. | NEVER have I been so scared from a side effect of a drug. I've been taking & trying many different drugs over the last 20 year & Latuda is the worst. I am drug sensitive but this went way beyond. I take 450 Lithium & 200 budeprion & I didn't feel the budeprion was doing enough. I've bounced back to a low level mania. I can't believe 4 days use has caused the tremors in my hands. Read these side effects carefully & question them before taking this drug! Don't be afraid of phoning your doctor; that's what they get paid for. If you're not satisfied, find another. | F | 64 | 4 days 40 mg 1X D | 2/2/2013 | 3 | Major Depressive Disorder/Psychosis | Lets just say....... I HATE ANTI PSYCHOTICS!!! I started on 40mg coz i had a negative voice and i wanted to kill myself. It takes an hour to kick in and the side effects last for 3hours. On 40mg i had HORRIBLE akasthsia!! I waz stummbling and my tongue waz tense and it hurt and i had a lisp coz it felt twisted. I waz misserable. on 40mg i had super green eyes! It waz stunning and my eyes were sensative to light and i felt waves of restlesness. I waz soo sensative to hot and cold in a second id be hot and then cold. psych doc dropped me to 25 and i took benadryl but the benadryl made me super tired. My eyes wernt green anymore and my voices went away and I had amazing vivid dreams! I could remmber them when i woke up. I thnk i gained some weight from it. It didnt help with my mood nad depression, it made it worse!! I had to pee alot. lol | I'd latuda waz ok. The 40mg waz like a nightmare and 25 waz good. I miss having green eyes though idk why that happend prob the only good side effect I had :P I will never take another anti psychotic coz Saphris waz even worse. Ill be fine just hallucinating coz latuda killed my good voice though now i stopped hes back! yay! | F | 18 | 4 weeks 25 1X D | 1/24/2013 | 1 | Psychosis,Severe Depression | Horrible anxiety,anxiety attacks,insomnia,feeling like a zombie,grogginess,suicide attempt. | I've never been a anxious person until I started this,the doc started me off with 40 mg and after a few days of taking this my anxiety went sky rocket,I couldn't barely do anything,every time I try to fall asleep I jolt back awake,the side effects have been so bad I tried to attempt suicide five different times,then later this was reduced to 20 mg a day witch I felt a little better I didnt feel zombie-like but still have anxiety every now and then,this is a terrible drug,STAY AWAY FROM LATUDA!. | F | 18 | 5 months 20 1X D | 1/24/2013 | 5 | bipolar | mild drowsiness, weight loss, calmness | this med is a godsend. i totally feel stable now. no depression no irritability, why did this not come out sooner. PLEASE ASK YOUR DOCTOR FOR LATUDA | F | 35 | 32 days 80 1X D | 12/10/2012 | 1 | psychosis/severe depression | SEVERE ANXIETY,grogginess,trouble sleeping,always tired. | I take 40 mg of latuda,take it before bed.it seems to level down my psychosis well,but the side effects lasts for weeks,it totally not worth it. | F | 18 | 3 months 40 1X D | 12/3/2012 | 4 | son has mood disorder | Sore breasts, vomiting, | My son has tried other meds but the side effects are horrible. This is the only one that seems to help. I am worried about the sore breasts and the fact his regular doctor said it is bad to mix the Latuda and Zoloft together. | M | 14 | 1.5 months 30 mg 1X D | 11/25/2012 | 5 | bipolar | this one had fewer side effects, initially. 0 side effects afterward. Son reported that he didn't know if it was doing anything. I think that is good, as I noticed the great awakening. If you are having issues son did at first, it took 30 days and close attention to find that the FOOD was his problem, not the med. We have awesome results when he takes the food with medication. I will post back after we get the routine better. He has had mixed results though because what seemed to be too low of a dose and possible too much activation was in fact him not getting any medicine so illness back with a vengence and or a partial dose which was too activiating. The same result we got from geodon. | Like I said, I will post back later, but this medication has promising results with 0 side effects for son. I think we have hit the one which can be difficult. Everyone is different. And like with Geodon, too low of a dose can be activating, nervousness & all the other bad stuff. The only thing that he complains of is in the beginning it would keep him from sleeping as well. He also has sleep issues. | M | 21 | 30 days 40 1X D | 10/14/2012 | 5 | Schizoaffective Disorder, Bipolar | some tiredness, initial sleeplessness, some internal restlessness with increased dosage | this is a wonder drug, and i've been on almost all of the atypicals. Latuda has been the only one that has been able to stop most of my hallucinations. I still feel paranoid sometimes and I'm working on that sort of thing with my therapist. Unfortunately you can't go any higher on the medicine or it can cause extreme internal restlessness and insurance companies won't cover it either. I can't begin to express how helpful this med has been though. | F | 31 | 3 months 80mg 1X D | 10/7/2012 | 1 | Depression, Bi-polar | Agitation, anxiety, confusioon, diarrhea, constipation - severe, difficulty speaking, swallowing, thinking, staying on track, focusing on a task, remembering what I was doing, dizzy, dry mouth, throat, tongue, nose, fatigue, low blood pressure causing dizzy, almost fainting, when getting up from a seat, gas, forgetting things within seconds, frequent urination - several times an hour! Headache, just a dull, always there kind, though at times would be severe, gained 20 pounds, increased sensitivity to everything, light, sounds, anything. Increased appetite, constantly wanting something to nibble on. Sore throat and hoarseness, by end of day could barely speak. Tics, tremors, shakes, tardive dyskenisia, akathesia. | At first, I thought this was a wonder drug. I felt "happy" though my husband couldn't really tell. It was an inner contentment, and I was able to stay level headed during conflict, a wonderful improvement. But then after a few weeks I started noticing all these side effects - but since I'd had a head injury a few years ago, and many of these effects were simliar to those of the injury, it took a while to figure it out. Many of my old symptoms were increasing, especially memory and ability to stay focused. I'm trying to find out now if I have to wean off or can just go cold turkey. Worst of all, I have lost ALL desire or acceptance even, for intimacy of any kind, even a hug from a friend. Just nothing there, and worse, repulsive. I'm quitting it for good. Rather be suicidal than all this. | F | 44 | 7 weeks 40 MG 1X D | 9/8/2012 | 5 | Bipolar II | No real side effects since on a super low dose 10 mg that I take in the morning. | I used to take Zyprexa for sleep but it made me depressed and gain 40 pounds. Since I switched to Latuda, I can sleep even better with less grogginess during the day. I have to call it a miracle after taking Seroquel and Zyprexa nonstop for 6 years. They helped, but the grogginess and blahness sucked. I feel normal with no side effects. Lots of people get akisthisia which I avoided by cutting the smallest pill size in half to start slowlly. Surprisingly, it is all I need. I also take Lamictal 50mg, Lithium 600mg, Zoloft 200mg. Since Latuda is so expensive you can ask your doctor to prescribe a larger pill that you can cut in half or into 4ths so that your insurance pays for more of it. | F | 41 | 2 weeks 10 mg 1X D | 8/7/2012 | 5 | impulsive thoughts/suicidal ideation | Only side effect I experienced was nausea if I did not eat a very big meal (the recommended 350 calorie meal). I just save my big meal for when I take Latuda before going to sleep. I eat a banana with peanut butter or two pieces of toast with peanut butter. | This drug drastically reduced my negative, impulsive thoughts and suicidal ideation. I am higher functioning, have more energy than when I was taking Geodon 40 at bedtime with Zyprexa 5mg at bedtime. I felt so tired on that regimen, and now I feel wide awake in the morning. I have also lost 6 lbs in the first month, related to the 10 lb weight gain I got in one month on Zyprexa. Definitely a great medication. Would recommend anyone try it. | F | 24 | 1 months 80 MG 1X D | 7/17/2012 | 5 | Schizophrenia | nausea sometimes vomiting this stopped when I changed to waiting 20 minutes after eating the required meal to take my pill as suggested by my doctor. | I am now able to have complex thought again and I don't have to nap throughout the day. I didn't know this was possible since I became sick. The other 2 medications I tried just were not the right medications for me. | F | 33 | 4 weeks 80 mg 1X D | 6/22/2012 | 3 | Bipolar I w/psychosis | I noticed an almost immediate improvement in the Latuda healing the symptoms of auditory and visual hallucinations. It also quickly improved my feelings of extreme rage, and irritability. However, I have developed severe problems with low blood sugar since I've been on the Latuda treatment. This isn't suppose to be a side affect of the Latuda, however, metabolic changes, hypergylcemia (high blood sugar) and diabetes are side affect risk affects. My Psychiatrist just switched me from 40 mg to 20 mg, I'll start the new dosage tonight. I also have a scheduled appointment with an endocrinologist in August to further research the low blood sugar problem. Has anyone else out there noticed a problem with low blood sugar. Blurry vision, shakiness, sweating/feeling faint, dizzy, etc. I had a fasting glucose tolerance test in the early part of May and it confirmed my blood sugar level was at that time, 45, and I was diagnosed as hypoglycemia. Anyway, good luck to each one with this newer a | F | 49 | 4 months 40 1X D | 6/20/2012 | 5 | Major depression | Mild restlessness, mild anxiety Read the insert, Do not take CARDIZEM ( Diltiazam) with it. THEY WARN YOU ABOUT IT | I was prescribed Latuda and noticed positive results almost immediately. I had much more energy and could think more clearly. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this drug! Taking a lot less other psych meds. CHECK OUT YOUR PSYCHIATRIST My "Psychpharmacologist". Had me on 9 psch meds and 4supplements at the same time. I cold barely walk and talk. After having TD so bad I had entire body spasms and could not sleep. I researched the interaction between Latuda and Diltiazam and I IMMEDITELY went back to this quack and and told him about it, and All he did was reduce the Latuda from 80mg to 40mg, added 2 drugs and 3 supplements Two days later I was in the hospital with cardiac arrhythmia. I called him and asked if any of these meds would cause this heart condition, less than his RECEPTIONIST came back and said no. While I has hospitalized THEY TOOK ME OFF THE DILTIAZAM and the TD DISAPPEARED BY 99% I took AP's for 35 yrs When I came home Ilooked all the interactions of all meds I take. Most of the psych meds he had prescribed psych meds can cause arrythmias! The only psych meds I take now are LATUDA! Lamictal and Nuvigil. No recurrence of symptoms, no more arrythmia. Drastic improvement in all areas. I have been able to think to the level I used to ( I have an IQ of 142). I have so much more energy that I have been able to clean my house, enjoy hobbiesand talk. I am confident that I will continue to have positive results with Latuda | F | 65 | 1 years 40 1X D | 5/25/2012 | 5 | Bipolar I | I've been through the mill, and this is the best drug I've come across to meet my mood stability, sleep, weight, and mental clarity needs. At the beginning, there was some definite "jelly legs," but that was one year ago and it went away. | I have not been this mentally lucid since my original diagnosis 10 years ago. This drug allowed me to get about 7 hours of sleep/night and my cholesterol went from 252 to 193 in just 7 1/2 weeks. This drug's effectiveness has allowed me to work a full-time job for the first time in a decade!!! My psychiatrist, therapist, family, and friends have ALL noticed this. All I can say is that it worked for me. I don't know about how it'll work for other people. FYI, I was usually on the more hypomanic side of things. I would go to the hospital for rapid cycling. Major depression, then mania. When I was on Geodon, I literally gagged or vomited daily. I slept 10-11 hours/day and thought that was supposed to be normal. It took me changing doctors to find this drug. It had only been on the market for a few months, but I decided, "Well, why not? Geodon's killing me financially and I'm tired of the vomiting and sleep problems." My old MD actually told me that she thought my Master's degree might "come to nothing" and that I might have to "be on Social Security Disability." I have been told by an even older MD that I "cannot have a baby." An MD before that said that I had to make a choice between being fat and stable and thin and unstable. What? Guess what? They were all wrong! My current MD said, "Are you kidding? Of course you can have a baby! All I'd do would be to put you off the clonazepam. When you first came in here, | F | 33 | 1 years 40 mg. 1X D | 5/23/2012 | 5 | bipolar | Im so use to side effects as I took over 22 kinds of meds b4 we hit this lucky one...was last on seroquel xr...triglycerides were 785.. Immediately stopped put on Latuda no meds for trys to see..well my tris went from 785 to 470...if u are on that med please get Bloodwork...I actually sleep normal not doped up not depressed..singing again and loving my life again!!! | F | 46 | 3 weeks 80mg | 4/24/2012 | 3 | schizophrenia + depression | Extreme anxiety, insomnia, itching, coughing | Weight stabilized, can eat more w/o gaining. Never had problem with this anxiety this severe before -- it may lead to my choosing another antipsychotic (although I think I've tried most of them.) I am not a zombie like I was on Zyprexa. More energy. Having to take clonazepam with it once or twice a day. | F | 53 | 10 months 40mg 1X D | 4/23/2012 | 4 | Major Depression | Trouble falling asleep but has gotten better; not staying asleep as long, although having more energy than before; lots of big yawns, so much that they make my legs quiver.....although overall the benefits greatly outweigh the side effects, have also lost a few pounds! | I've tried several antipsychotics along with an SSRI for my depression. Abilify and Geodon were no good because of adverse effects. Risperdal was wonderful for a long time, but then I developed involuntary muscle twitches, and I was depressed on a lower dose. I've been on Latuda for almost four weeks (with the risperdal for first 2 weeks), though initially there were some sleep problems, I find I have more energy and have lost some of the weight gained on the risperdal. My mood is back up as well. So far so good! Oh also, I take it at night with about a 100 calorie snack, and my stomach has been fine. | F | 21 | 4 weeks 40 MG 1X D | 4/14/2012 | 2 | Bipolar 2 with psychosis | Groggy at first and kind of like sitting on a cloud "out of it" as I transitioned off yet ANOTHER antidepressant that didn't work and made things worse. Finally grabbed BP2 diagnosis and tried this med to busy up major depressive state. After a few days I thought I was getting better only now the energy is not manic, but angry/ragey/pissy/extremely agitated. Feel paranoid and blowing things out of proportion again. Very self deprecating. Hopelessness starting to set in that, once again, no med works for my crazy backwards brain. I'm itching and restless and almost agoraphobic in fear of losing it with uncontrollable outbursts of rage or tears to some presumed affront. Want and need stabilization so I'm trying to figure out why I'm on an anti psychotic for schizophrenia?! Weight gain is creeping in so it's a matter if time before I call the dic and say lets try something else. I'm not feeling the benefits other than I'm not hypo manic up all night detached from reality taking like I'm high and elated and full of unhealthy energy that crashes without a moments notice. Thought that was why latuda was working--seemed to have some mood stabilization and not as many freak outs but now it feels like its spiraling back to square one. This roller coaster alone will drive anyone to psychosis! Thoughts? I desperately need encouragement! | F | 38 | 9 days 20mg | 4/3/2012 | 5 | Psychosis NOS | Akathisia only once, and not too severe, extreme grogginess after 90 minutes of taking it, some grogginess during the day, psychosis almost completely gone | Latuda started to work for me even a day after taking it; 3 weeks later, it's even better. Besides taking away paranoia, voices, and delusions with negative symptoms as well, it's stopped me from overreacting about everything and having racing thoughts. No hunger or weight increase, no bad restlessness, no lactation so far. I LOVE this med; I don't know what I'd do without it. | F | 23 | 3 weeks 40 mg 1X D | 3/28/2012 | 1 | Daughter has childhoodschizophrenia | Her blood pressure rose dramatically, she wanted to kill herself, and her blood sugar was well into the 200's. | F | 8 | 10 weeks 40 | 3/28/2012 | 3 | Bipolar II, Mixed | Started with 40 MG for a few months before going to to the 80mg, Then, I got WORSE! My mania escalated and I saw almost constant agitating and restlessness. I had more frequent ragey/angry behavior. I couldn't think clearly or stay on task. NOW I AM BACK ON 40 mg., the lower dose. | I went up to 80 mg. b/c it was clear my initial 40 mg. was not helping except to get rid of that "static' background noise I experienced. On the plus I was calmer at the beginning on both dosages, but this did not last long for me. Now back down to 40 mg., my sleep has improved a little with the dosage change. The agitation is not as frequent nor intense. | F | 50 | 30 days 80 MG 1X D | 3/18/2012 | 1 | Bipolar II | HORRIBLE agitation | Latuda is a terrible drug. I cannot believe people don't slit their own throats while on this. I felt like bugs were crawling all over my bones. I couldn't sit still. I would go into these intense mini-manias every night where I would be agitated, crying hysterically, walking in circles. I felt like tearing my hair out and screaming and running down the street all at the same time. Uncontrollable physical and mental agitation. My doctor failed to mention this relatively common side effect. When I brough it up, she totally knew the name for this side effect and how it feels. I can't remember the exact word she used, but she said the bugs crawling on your bones is a known side effect. Ugh it was just awful! This agitation went away within 2 days of stopping the med. BTW, I can't remember the dose I was taking. | F | 27 | 2 months 1X D | 1/9/2012 | 5 | Depression,Anxiety | Started on 40 mg.Had to bump down to 20 mg for 4 days because I felt wired and very restless.Returned to 40mg and was able to tolerate better and side effects have worn off.I feel like I have alot more energy.I think this medicine works great and has given me my life and happiness back.I stress less and function alot better day to day. | F | 32 | 10 days 40mg | 1/6/2012 | 5 | Maj. Depression, BPD, Bipolar | Extreme sedation for 2 hours followed by intense restlessness for 3-4 hours after each dose. | I suffer from a treatment resistant type of mental illness where it can seem like nothing works. From ECT to hospitalization to therapy, EMDR, Meds meds and more meds, holistic care, etc... Latuda isn't a miracle cure, AND it's made a marked difference in my recovery progress. I dissociate much less, find my moods to be more moderate, can face life a little more effectively. I started taking vit. D3 at the same time. I expect that's helping, as well. | F | 38 | 2 months 40 MG 1X D | 12/24/2011 | 4 | Schizophrenia | Chills, Dizziness (went away after 3 days), restlessness. | 40 mg. did not work, but 80 mg. made a world of difference. I always need high doses. I am not wanting to eat and sleep all the time like when I was on Invega (12 mg). The transition was hell because the doctor had to keep bumping up the dosage. It was worth the weight. I feel great, just a bit restless. | F | 16 | 12 days 80 1X D | 12/18/2011 | 4 | Bipolar w/ psychotic features | No weight gain/food cravings like other anti-psychotics I have tried. Restlessness. | I have not hallucinated in the time that I have been on Latuda. I was previously on Abilify and gained a bunch of weight, which the doctor had assured me wouldn't happen. I switched to Latuda because the chance of weight gain is low and it is very effective with my psychotic symptoms. My mood is stabilized for the most part, though I still experience some manic and depressive episodes once in a great while. | F | 22 | 3 months 80mg 1X D | 12/5/2011 | 5 | DEPRESSION | i gained 20 lbs right at first. Then it leveled off. I yawn alot but that got better. | I know Latuda has helped me a great deal. I also take Cymbalta and LaMictal. The only other thing that has helped as much is Geodon but I was alergic to it. I feel like doing things that i love to do. Not just making myself do things but actually wanting to. I haven't felt this good in 7 years. i hate the weight gain but it's worth the alternative. I look forward to tomorrow now. | F | 58 | 6 months 1X D | 11/22/2011 | 4 | schitzo-affective disorder | i gave the wrong age accidently | M | 35 | 40 MG 1X D | 11/3/2011 History | 5 | depression/anxiety | hardly any side effects. A little upset stomach in the beginning but got better when taken with food. | I have suffered anxiety and depression for most of my life. Tried several medications with little or no results. My doc diagnosed me with bipolar and suggested Latuda. I noticed a difference within 1 day. I finally have energy and an positive outlook on life. I also have increased energy which can be a little much at times. He wants to increase the dose to see if it gets better. | F | 41 | 9 days 40 mg 1X D | 8/30/2011 | 4 | Schizophrenia/ Mood disorder | Hard to say since heis on a laundry list of other meds. | My Son's Father has tried EVERYTHING, and this is the first time in the 2 years since the eppisodes started that he seems to be able to rationalize again. He told me last night that he knows the things he believed were "crazy". I have waited 2 years to hear that, I know it's early but I sure am happy that My Son will have his Daddy back even if just for 6 weeks!!! | M | 30 | 5 days 40 1X D | 8/26/2011 | 1 | BIPOLAR | Akathisia: A movement disorder characterized by a feeling of inner restlessness and a compelling need to be in constant motion as well as by actions such as rocking while standing or sitting, lifting the feet as if marching on the spot and crossing and uncrossing the legs while sitting. People with akathisia are unable to sit or keep still, complain of restlessness, fidget, rock from foot to foot, and pace. | This medicine causes akathisia. I thought it wouldn't beacuse it was so new. Im trying Benadryl first if that does not work I'll have to call my pdoc for Cogentin or Ativan. | M | 30 | 1 days 40MG 1X D | 8/23/2011 | 5 | bipolar | The once a day dosing is great. No weight gain compared to other drugs in this class. | No dose increases, 40mg is the dose you start and stay on. | M | 29 | 1 months 40mg 1X D | 7/12/2011 | 4 | Schizophrenia | This drug is suppose to have no metabolic side effects that the others carry. No weight gain or food cravings. There calling it the next Geodon but with even less side effects. | I have not taking this medicine yet because it's fairly new, but it looks promising. I'm currently on Saphris and it's working wonders, don't want to switch to Latuda because everything is going so well with it. | M | 31 | 1 months 40MG 1X D | 7/2/2011 | 5 | Schizophrenia | I don't have to eat every hour like other AP's. Mild anxiety. Tardive dyskinesia is still here, but not as bad as with other medicines like this. Very little side effects with this drug! | This seems to be working as well as 6-9 mg of invega. Memory seems to be improving! I like this medicine better than other anti-psychotics that I've tried. Going to try the 80mg to see if things are any better. 40mg seems to work wonders for all of my symptoms. | M | 29 | 4 months 40mg 1X D | 6/21/2011 | 4 | bipolar disorder | yawning, anxious | i was going through a manic state (broke up w/ my gf which triggered the mood swing) seemed to help stabilize me. so far so good. | M | 23 | 3 weeks 40 1X D | 5/29/2011 | 2 | Bipolar | Headaches, depression, paranoia, extreme highs and lows. | The first few days taking Latuda were pretty good but then my ups and downs started getting even worse than they were before. I started to feel like I was going crazy. At times, I did not have a full grasp on reality. | F | 32 | 7 days 40 1X D | 5/16/2011 | 1 | Bi-Polar Schizoaffective | Had to stop taking it as of yesterday. The tardive dyskinesia was horrrrrrrrrendous! | Reposting again as promised. It worked for my symptoms, and it got 'me' back to being me. | F | 38 | 1 months 80 1X D | 5/14/2011 | 4 | bipolar | Mood is better, little headache all day and a slight buzz going. Not manic, little restless in the feet. Take lorazapam at night to calm down a little. | I like it for my mood, wish I didn't have this headache | F | 41 | 7 days 40 1X D | 5/9/2011 | 2 | Bi-polar schizoaffective disorder | Incredibly sleepy after the first dose. Relative calm after I woke, flu-like achiness and a generalized headache. Had more initial side effects when I started Lexapro than with Latuda. | I am hoping that others will post their experiences with Latuda who have been on it longer than one day. I can't say much more about it at the moment, will post again in a few weeks. | F | 38 | 1 days 40mg 1X D | 4/19/2011 |
