| 2 | Bipolar Disorder Type 1 | Latuda made my heart beat pretty fast it made me feel like I was overheating it is always cold in our flat yet my neck and back would be so sweaty they stated it makes you feel drowsy until your body gets used to it but that's not the case with me it made me yawn and feel drowsy constantly no matter the time I'd take it do you know how annoying it is when your body isn't tired but your mind thinks it is? Also it caused me to shiver constantly my teeth were always chattering that's annoying as heck too I'd have to take the medicine my psychologist prescribed me for anxiety,tremors and shivers to help get rid of the teeth chattering I'd have to walk or take a shower or read a book to occupy my mind it made my anxiety worse and don't get me started on the akathisia it got so bad once that the ambulance had to come get me and the hospital had to help me get some sleep they thought I was trying to harm myself again I've recently flushed it down the loo cause I can't take the horrible side effects any more. I would rather deal with my bipolar disorder the way I was before I got on latuda. | If your doctor suggests this to do not accept ask them is there anything else they can give you the medication sucks and should have been approved by the FDA. | M | 23 | 2 months 20 MG | 6/24/2016 | 1 | bipolar, ptsd, anxiety, ocd | Severe muscle pain/weakness, nasea, vomiting, stomach cramping, headaches, fast heart rate. Racing thoughts, insomnia. Sore throat, unable to really eat or drink. Cold chills and hot flashes. | I am very sensitive to medicines but I thought I would give it a try. After day 2 of taking the medicine all of my side effects became extremely worse and I had to go to the e.r. The muscle pains, nasea, and vomiting were so bad I didn't know what to do except cry. I am now taking medicine for the nasea and pain until that subsides. | F | 25 | 2 days 20 mg | 6/18/2016 | 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 | 3 | PTSD AND PREGNANCY | Weird feeling in my legs and feet , restlessness, sometimes racing breathing like I wanna go for a run | Huge help only safe one for me to take in my pregnancy, only reason why I give this a less rating is because the leg thing is unbearable. Seems to get worse as the dose increases. I can't tell if the crying spells are Latuda or pregnancy but it's for no good reason it doesn't make me more depressed just makes me cry | F | 20 | 3 weeks 40 mg | 5/23/2016 | 1 | Schizoaffective Disorder | Super depressed....thought about killing myself muliple times. Highly drowsy can't even function. Disturbed sleep | Just stay away....not good at all | M | 37 | 2 weeks 40 | 5/10/2016 | 2 | to help with depression | I've been off and on this since last fall about. 20mg at dinner, then it takes forever to sleep, next day I feel sedated and drugged, a hangover feeling and all I want to do is sleep, this is not good to enjoy life, and its the lowest dose. I'm cutting it in half tonite to see. I only take cymbalta at am. So what is my problem and what should I do? Maybe its not for me. | Any comments would be appreciated | F | 58 | 5 months 20 mg | 5/7/2016 | 2 | Bipolar 1 | Extreme nausea, trouble sleeping | I take it at night and within the hour it makes me sleepy but I wake up during the night a lot feeling restless, and I am constantly waking up at 5 unable to go back to sleep. The nausea is terrible, I mean I slept in the bathroom last night so I could have easy access to the toilet. I haven't been taking it very long but the nausea is unbearable. | F | 21 | 5 days 20 MG | 5/5/2016 | 5 | PTSD | First few days horrible side effects and felt way worse depressed after the 6 th day noticed a huge difference. No longer on 6 pills. Just one. This medication in combination with my therapy has chamged my life. No side effects other than must tale with food or I get sick. | F | 31 | 2 weeks 40mg 1xada | 4/30/2016 | 4 | Bipolar depressive + anxiety | Sleepiness within about an hour and a half to where I literally have to find a bed or I'll just curl up wherever I am and fall asleep, sometimes nausea | This medication has helped me emotionally an incredible amount. The first night I took it I was very nauseous and thought I had the flu. Since then I find that as long as I eat at least 300-500 solid calories right before taking it, I'm fine. The sleepiness is a problem in that I'm a college student and need to be able to stay up late to do homework, so if I am forced into bed by my medication right after dinner it's quite difficult to get everything done. But the fact remains that this medication has helped me feel better than I have in years and I finally feel like a human being - reminds me of when I got my glasses and thought to myself, is this how everyone else can see? This good feeling is what I've been missing out on! Latuda has helped me a lot and I'm okay with the side effects for that reason. | F | 19 | 3 weeks 40mg | 4/1/2016 | 1 | I was taking latuda for bi polar 1 | I had really bad anxiety I didn't want to leave my house I cried all the time it was horrible | I wouldn't recommend latuda to anyone I felt so crazy taking them coming off is even worse | F | 23 | 10 days 40 | 4/1/2016 | 1 | Bipolar II | Immediately nauseous on first taking it. Also a bit dizzy and very unsteady on feet. This eased after a few hours. However after second dose I was same all day. After third dose I had severe out of body feelings and nightmares. Still nauseous. When I woke up next morning I still did not feel well and as morning went on I got much worse. Had feeling of tongue swelling, trouble speaking and trouble breathing. Luckily husband was with me and took me to hospital emergency ward where I had to be given adrenalin. They were not certain what happened but assumed allergic reaction to Latuda, but thought strange as had taken it 14 hours before. Nothing else had changed in what I was taking or eating though. | Beware. I have tried just about all the available drugs to treat Bipolar II over the last 10 years and never had anything like this experience. | F | 46 | 3 days 20 mg 1X day | 3/28/2016 | 1 | Bipolar | Huge rash that burns my scalp is bleeding, I feel like my skin is crawling. I'm weak and tired I all-around just feel like crap. This is probably one of the worst drugs I've tried. | It sucks! | F | 36 | 4 days 40mg | 2/18/2016 | 2 | Bipolar type 1 | Confused, weight gain, sleeping, no energy | The first two weeks on this I felt great it helped a lot with sucidal thoughts and psychosis. Then I had no energy and motivation to do anything. I was tired all the time and tried to sleep but couldn't. I was also confused a lot. Like I couldn't remember any thing. I gained a good 25 pounds while on this mainly because I craved carbs while taking it. I recently decided to quit cold turkey and while its only been a couple of days I have so much energy now and I am not craving carbs. This medicine sucks. I hope one day they will have better options for bipolar disorder. | F | 28 | 3 months 20 mg | 2/14/2016 | 5 | Major Depression/ Anxiety | Hair loss. | This medication has changed my life for the better. I am the most stable I have ever been in my life. My anxiety has decreased and I have more motivation and a positive outlook on life. | F | 31 | 1 years 60 mg | 1/17/2016 | 5 | BiPolar Disorder | I have trouble getting going in the morning. It's almost noon before I feel awake. | It's made a huge difference in my life. The suicidal thinking is gone; when the mood swings hit they are brief and stoppable. I wish I felt more awake, but I'm alive and functioning at a fairly high level. | F | 58 | 3 years 40 2X day | 1/13/2016 | 1 | Bipolar 1 | Horrible akanesia! Tried it a year ago during a bad depression. It bumped me at the 40 mg but the akanesia was a new kind of torture so I was forced to stop. Began it again a year later for another bout of depression with psychotic features. 20 mg with 25 mg of benydril and I did well but again when I titrated to the 40 mg I experienced extreme stomach upset and unbearable akanesia, even accompanied by 2 doses of 50 mg benydril. | It's worth a try if you're desperate but for me, it's one of the most hellish drugs out there. | F | 40 | 2 weeks 20-40 mg | 1/12/2016 | 2 | Mood Disorder NOS, Depression | Nausea, diaharrea Increased anxiety, manic like state, agitation shakiness, restlessness, basically feeling like I had too much caffeine times 10. | This medication made me feel like I had 10 cups of coffee or something, and I have a major caffeine sensitivity. It made me feel sick, anxious and basically put me in an agitated and manic state. It did help with my depression a bit, but it made my anxiety and mood problems worse. I don't remember what dosage I was on, but it was a low one, since my doctor always starts me on the lowest dose then usually has me cut it in half because I'm so sensitive to medication. It was also a f***ing pricey medication because I got perscribed it when it first hit the market. I was so disappointed that I paid like $70 for something that didn't even work. | F | 20 | 1 months Don't Know 1X day | 12/29/2015 | 4 | Schizophrenia/Bipolar | Since my previous post I am still taking Latuda and haven't had anything to drink at all. I have also been hospitalized twice since my last post. I will probably be taking medication for the rest of my life. I used to work full-time in the medical field and owned a house before I became sick so a lot has changed. Now I have my life centered around God, going to church groups, and being active in my church. My weight is still higher than it was without taking it. It helps to be involved with group fitness and doing something outdoors weekly. | F | 33 | 20 MG 1X day | 12/28/2015 Patient History | 1 | Bipolar Disorder | Inability to sleep despite being exhausted (not even able to nap), nausea | Worked well for stabilizing my mood, but after taking it for a month and upping the dosage from 20mg to 40mg, I lost the ability to sleep (napping included) despite the mediction making me drowsy. Prescribed sleeping aids don't work for me. Also couldn't deal with the nausea and stomach issues induced by this drug. Luckily, I haven't had any of the more severe symptoms. Been off Latuda nearly 2 weeks and am still unable to sleep. | F | 24 | 3 months 40 MG | 12/19/2015 | 1 | Biplar depression | Mania, cough, hot cold chills, muscle pain, rage!!! | Should be taken off the market, dangerous drug | F | 52 | 1 months 20 | 12/16/2015 |
