| 4 | OCD, Major Depression, Anxiety | Extremely tired (had to take before bed), nausea, vomiting, weight gain | It helped tremendously with intrusive thoughts and depression, but the vomiting became too much. It was too much stress on my body I took it off and on for a year and a half before I decided that it was time to switch. | F | 26 | 0 days 40 | 6/5/2022 | 1 | OCD and Depression | initially i was ok apart from some very vivid dreams that seemed to all focus on my worst fears and experiences, but after about 6 weeks of usage the drug built up in my system and for the past 4 days i have had constant extreme nausea , racing mind, extremely over emotional, even happy thoughts instantly brought me to tears, i decided id half the dosage for 2x days then stop. In the last 2x days i have had only 10mg a day and have been taking a vitamin supplement that aids the bodies reactions to stress, i have found that i feel a little better but as i type this i have the most petrified feeling in my stomach and today my mind has been racing with fears of death and reflections on life....i feel like im going insane. dont take Latuda! | M | 33 | 1 months 20MG | 1/5/2017 | 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 | 3 | anxiety, depression,ocd | Restlessness yet tired | I am also on effector xr for 12 years | F | 52 | 4 days 40mg | 6/1/2015 | 5 | bipolar, ocd, anxiety/panic disorde | So grateful for this drug. I can't remember feeling this good. The first week I took 10mg and felt jittery and a bit manic but that went away. The second week I started 20mg and my mood is much brighter and I have more energy. | This was added to my Wellbutrin, Lamictal, and Klonopin to help with depression and insomnia. I look forward to getting up for the first time in years. Amazing. I take it at bedtime. 20mg is all I needed to round out the other meds. Abilify did nothing. No weight gain yet but I am religious about counting calories and walking. At 60 I only need 1300-1400 calories a day. | F | 60 | 2 weeks 20 1X day | 1/10/2015 |
LATUDA ( LURASIDONE HYDROCHLORIDE): This medication is used to treat certain mental/mood disorders (such as schizophrenia, depression associated with bipolar disorder). Lurasidone helps you to think more clearly, feel less nervous, and take part in everyday life. It may also help to decrease hallucinations (hearing/seeing things that are not there). In addition, this medication may improve your mood, sleep, appetite, and energy level. Lurasidone is a psychiatric medication that belongs to the class of drugs called atypical antipsychotics. It works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural substances in the brain. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA) FDA Approval Date: 2012-04-26
