| 1 | Bipolar disorder | Nausea, diarrhea, extream upper abdominal pain. | I have been taking this now for 3 days and it sent me to the hospital with extreme upper abdominal pain. | F | 36 | 3 days 20mg | 12/13/2015 | 4 | bipolar depression | I have had a little weight loss, but I needed it so that was fine. The only bad thing I have experienced is hair loss and breakage. | It has been much better than Seroquel or Geodon | F | 51 | 364 days 80 1X day | 12/10/2015 | 1 | bipolar | I'm tired of throwing up everyday. It doesnt work well for me. | My doctor will not listen to me about the side effects .maybe they need to take it. | F | 34 | 2 months 40mg | 12/9/2015 | 3 | Bipolar 1 with psychosis | Inability to talk. Strange movements in my mouth. Jerky movements in my jaw. Spasms in my body, coming and going. Can not articulate words. :( | I was at 40 mg for two years when I suddenly got really paranoid and the doc increased the dosage to 80mg that's when I started having these side effects | F | 57 | 1 days 40mg | 12/4/2015 | 1 | Depression and mild bipolar | I was sitting in my husbands hospital room ( he had cancer surgery) and I took morning dose with my coffee. In about 15-20 minutes I began bobbing my head uncontrollably and my husband rang for a nurse. I became non responsive by the time she ran in the room and she immediately called for "rapid response team". I don't recall anything after my head started bobbing, all I know is I came to about 4 hours later in the ER. I was admitted and tested for stroke. I basically went in to a "temporary coma". All test results were negative, thus ruling out any other cause than a severe allergic reaction to the drug. I do suffer depression but am now terrified to take anything at all. I am trying to find a lawyer that will take my case. The hospital filed my insurance with the diagnosis of "severe and highly potential threat to loss of life". | Had I been home alone or anywhere else for that matter, I would have died. Had I been driving, I could have killed others. This is a very serious issue and I would like to hear from others who may have had a similar reaction. | F | 55 | 7 days 40 mg 1X day | 12/3/2015 | 4 | Bipolar depression | So far so good | It truly helps me in the day time.. It gives me energy and I'm not looking like a zombie... I am glad I found this because I was looking like I was on a street drug.. Falling asleep in my therapy sessions .. Most definitely could not get behind the wheel.. So thank you latuda.... | F | 42 | 1 days 40 | 11/24/2015 | 3 | psychosis | I'm currently taking this medication for over 2 years for treating my psychosis episode i had two years ago. I would have to say it absolutely made me lose weight significantly (around 20 pounds) because if I didn't have a full stomach or meal properly digested, I would vomit it all out instantly. I did have slight dizziness if I took it with my other medications and there were times I would wake up confused or a headache. Other than that, it helped with my psychosis and enables me to fall asleep (which I so desperately need on a regular basis being a full time student and working full time). | I would suggest taking this with meals (350 calories or more) and fully digested before taking this medication to prevent nausea and vomiting | F | 19 | 2 years 20 mg | 11/14/2015 | 1 | BP Depression | Tried Latuda, 40 mgs for a week. Was severely agitated, manic, headache, heart racing, felt horrible. Although, it did help the depression! So I tried 20 mgs for a week. Even worse. Now I'm down to 10 mgs and feel worse than ever! I have no clue, but I'm cutting a 20 mg, unscored pill. Maybe I'm getting too much. | F | 1 months 10 | 11/13/2015 | 1 | bi-polar | hallucinations, paranoia, numbness, aggression | when on this drug the doctor thought another lock down facility was needed. Within 48 hours of stopping the drug all side effects disappeared. | F | 20 | 14 days 1X day | 11/5/2015 | 1 | Delusional thought | Felt like death. Was forced on the maximum dose at the oregon state hospital. Prscriber hulie anderson ignored all side effects. Could barely walk, barely talk, felt like i was dying and my eyes were jittering back and forth. The prescribers of these drugs are sadistic evil people. Chemical lobotomy. Was lucky to get out alive. | Poisonous mind alternating drug Beware | 36 | 1 days 160 | 11/2/2015 | 1 | BiPolar 1 | RAGE, PARANOIA, WEIGHT-GAIN, IRRITABILITY, AGITATION | 40mgs 1x and I can dicriptively say from experience that this shit makes me feel like an angry hormonal teenager or like when I had massive post-partum depression. I am severely paranoid as well as annoyed with everyone I work with. Things that I would simply let go or ignore, I'm harboring rage and paranoia about. I have tried every bi-polar med you can name and absolutely nothing worked. I was looking forward to being "fixed" as just another over-represented statistic of females diagnosed with depression. I'm sticking with my mood-stabilizer and getting off this crap. Expect the FDA to be shady and don't question why they allow this stuff. The FDA turns a blind eye to a lot of things including human testing in developing countries on the poor and desperate...and everyone is so concerned about the poor animals. I have a close friend that works for a pharmecutucal company. You'd be disgusted. I can't give this drug another minute of my being. It is raping my brain and I'm stopping it regardless of what the Pdoc says. | F | 36 | 4 weeks 40mg 1x | 11/2/2015 | 5 | bipolar depression | I tremor but get meds to control them.Difficult urinating. | a good drug. Has changed my life. Worth the side effects. | F | 17 | 3 months depression | 11/1/2015 | 1 | Bipolar | Made me feel like I had a stroke. Weakness, tongue swollen, jaw tight, feels like I'm going to choke. | F | 31 | 10 months 60 | 10/30/2015 | 1 | Bipolar Depression | Took this drug for approx. 30 days. Was admitted to hospital due to pain and weakness in legs, feet, arms and hands. Numbness in the extremities. Hospital ran all types of test. As of today can not resolve problems. Extreme pain. Can't walk without falling down. | Be AWARE | F | 35 | 30 days 80 1X day | 10/28/2015 | 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 | 5 | Bipolar depression | Latuda makes my hair fall out.. EXTREMLY bad .. I'm almost going bald. I also have restlessness. Take cogentin for that | It works great for my BD | F | 48 | 1 years 60 mg | 10/9/2015 | 3 | Bipolar 1 | Lower lip drooping on one side | It worked great for my bipolar and didn't cause weight gain like other antipsychotic I have been on ( seroquel depakote and abilify). I was willing to put up with the lip droop because of that but my doctor wasn't in agreement. I am told it is an allergic reaction. | F | 37 | 3 weeks 40 | 9/9/2015 | 1 | Bipolar Disorder Depression | Parkinson Symptoms - I could not walk and was in a wheelchair. I went through months of physical therapy and still have pain in my shoulders and arms from falling down. | M | 62 | 210 days 80 mg 1X day | 8/13/2015 | 1 | Bipolar depression | Restlessness, could not sit down for more than a minute, racing heart, body shaking all over, confusion, zombie-like state, could not sleep, horrifying panic attacks, felt like I was dieing, | This is the worst medication of have ever taken. Because of my experience on it, I have developed traumatic shock. I would never ever recommend this horrifying drug to anyone. It was a life changer for me in that I know have less trust in any medication. Everyone around me noticed the changes and I almost went to the emergency room before getting in contact with my doctor and driving in the middle of the night to a pharmacy to get benztropin and sleeping pills. I got off the drug But the worst part was all of this happened around my 26th birthday and I was completely not myself. I can't stress enough how traumatic this was for me. My whole body was shaking, my teeth chattering, I could barely speak, I couldn't stop walking around, and that was immediately after taking the meds every night. The doctor said maybe try a lower does but I said NO I will never take this drug again. I know some people have reported good things but I've mostly seen negative reviews on here and I think this drug should be taken of the market. I wish I could sue for the amount of pain and trauma this drug caused me. | F | 26 | 1 months 60MG | 8/11/2015 | 1 | depression | This drug made me have very severe Parkinsons symptoms. I could not walk right without falling down on floor, ground or my 15 stairs (which I always fell down. I could not even write. My landlord came over to see why my stairs were not shovelled for a few weeks. He called an ambulance and I was hospitalized for 4 weeks. Nw I have huge bald patches all over my head. My hair has been thinning ever since used Latuda. Hair loss shampoos don't work. I have been using them and taking hair and nail vitamins for 4 months now and nothing has changed except that I can walk without falling now. | F | 61 | 365 days 120 mg 1X day | 7/28/2015 |
