| 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 | 1 | BPD, Bipolar | elevated hr, restless legs, flushed skin, itchy scalp, nausea/dry heaves, yawning w/o tiredness, teeth clinching, crying w/ no trigger or cause | I was off all meds for a year when a all new low hit. (Medicated on and off for 20 years)I forgot why I had quit taking this when my dr asked. The first night, I felt intense fear. Of what? Idk. I live alone and thought I was going to die of side effects. Thinking I was being “dramatic”, I took klonopin to calm me down which I’d also been off of a year. My mom called to check on me and I couldn’t even answer the phone because I literally felt I could not speak as if I had no voice. I basically had to use breathing techniques and lay in bed and try to “sleep it off”. Next day, dr says 1/2 pill to make it 20 mg. I don’t eat much normally. I was driving down the road, gagging and began to dry heave. I had to pull over. Realized I didn’t know what time it was or where I was going. I’m done with this. I work in medical field where I cannot afford to experience these effects. Very DANGEROUS MED!! | F | 35 | 2 days 40 | 5/17/2018 | 1 | Bipolar I and PTSD | Extreme diarrhea!! I read a ton of reviews, I had really high hopes for this medication. It has been a nightmare. Jittery, on edge, ringing in ears, restless legs, and diarrhea. I finally gave up after 3 days and switched back to Seraquel. I'm still feeling the side effects of Latuda. I read it takes four days for the medication to be completely out of your system. Please be careful when talking this. Talk to your doctor about all of the side effects. | F | 27 | 3 days 25MG | 6/14/2016 | 5 | schizo-affective disorder | Very few side effects. Some hair loss, restless legs | This medication changed my life. I had been on Geodon for 10 years and was depressed, intermittently psychotic, and had a very flat affect/little or no emotion about anything. My creativity was completely gone and I stopped writing for 10 years. I changed first to a small dose of each and noticed that my creativity was coming back. IN January was switched over completely to Latuda. My emotions came back, my creativity came back, I had more energy and more motivation to live my life. I have had some hair loss, but with Hair Skin and Nails vitamins my hair has stopped falling out. Latuda has given me my life back. I feel better than I have felt in many, many years. | F | 49 | 18 months 80 mg 1X day | 10/26/2015 | 4 | Schizophrenia | Shakiness, Restless leg syndrome, Involuntary movements, could not stop moving even if I tried | I still had voices and visions while taking latuda, but they werent as bad and I didnt take it very long. I am going back on it tomorrow for life. | F | 24 | 2 months 20 mg 1X day | 5/15/2014 |
