Six months o | M | 50 | 40 mgz 1X day | 11/4/2014 | 3 | Bipolar I | Since switching from Seroquol 300mg to Latuda 20mg I'm now sleeping somewhat normally and waking up in the morning again while I was waking up in the evening while on Seroquel. PDOC made the switch because of excess weight gain while on Seroquel. Haven't seen any weight gain yet on Latuda. In the beginning, was experiencing some nausea but if you take if with a meal it will go away. Had some headaches and intense dreams. Otherwise, it's been ok so far. | F | 30 | 1 months 20mg 1X day | 11/4/2014 | 4 | BIPOLAR 2 | NO SEX DRIVE, SOMETIMES DIZZY SPELLS | I REALLY LIKE WHAT THIS MEDICATION IS DOING FOR MY BIPOLAR BUT OMG THE NO SEX DRIVE IS MAKING ME GO NUTS. | F | 28 | 60 days 80MG 1X day | 10/30/2014 | 5 | bipolar | This drug Is the best Drug I have ever been on. It has Drastically saved my LIFE. I HAVE BEEN ON MEDS FOR OVER 20 YEARS. The only problem was extreme weight gain I highly recommend Latuda if you have been on many meds that have not worked .Latuda Saved My LIFE! | F | 39 | 10 months 60 mg | 10/27/2014 | 4 | Bipolar 1 | The great news - Latuda pulled me out of a difficult to treat depressive episode where I had major suicide ideation. Not so good news - got hypomanic from higher dosages including bad irritability. When I take it all at bedtime it keeps me awake but when I take it all in the morning it spaces me out so I'm trying to get a compromise. I'm seriously considering on dropping it because I feel flat (blunted) and no libido. I just don't feel like myself. Also intense dreams, then waking up sudden & very anxious. Maybe I should go back to the AP I wanted to get off "be careful what you wish for" goes the saying or something in between. *** important*** I was shocked when I picked up my RX the first time - 30 days = $3,688.49!!! Thank goodness I have insurance because there's no way in heck that I can afford that! | F | 44 | 3 months 60mg | 10/27/2014 | 1 | Bipolar disorder | Massive weight gain (25+ pounds) in a very short period. Loss of sex drive. Feel so tired all the time, despite taking at night. Tremors in legs. My depression got worse. I hate this drug. | F | 3 months 40 mg | 10/20/2014 | 1 | depression | Hate it. At first it mad me extremely drowsy for the first 3 days followed by extreme anxiety and jittery and stopped being able to sleep. Also made my jaw pain worse and gave me nausea. Stopped taking it. | F | 34 | 7 days 20 | 10/17/2014 | 1 | adjunct to other depression meds | depression got worse. Shaking, uncontrollable movement, crying fits huge weight gain, uncontrollable eating.... worst drug ever | F | 45 | 10 days 40 | 10/16/2014 | 1 | Schizoaffective disorder | Extreme sedation, increased depression, intense suicidal ideation, abnormal dystonic muscle spasms, nausea, tardive dyskinesia | This drug is just nasty. It is supposed to help with depression, but for me, it increased my depression and caused suicidal thinking that I never had before. It literally forces your eyes to become droopy/close due to the extreme fatigue. The movement effects are bad too. AWFUL, awful experience. I can't wait to be off of this drug!! | F | 33 | 1 years 40 mg 1X day | 10/14/2014 | 3 | Bipolar 1 | Over excessive sweating with any activity including cleaning, anxiety, can't sit still, then after moving for 1 1/2 hr.
