I was on Latuda for about 3 months. It was not the med for me!

I became very nauseous on it and lost my appetite almost completely, and because of how much food you need to take it with, I puked at least once a week from it due to not having enough in my stomach.

I had to take it at night because it made me tired, although not tired enough to let me sleep well (but most things don't work too well for me in terms of sleep).

It also was not very effective at all, and my moods were all kinds of wonky. I switched back to Seroquel (which I had been on for about a year prior to Latuda, and only came off because at a higher dose I was having some side effects and my pdoc figured trying something else wouldn't really hurt)...and it's been about a year since then, and I have no intentions of changing meds any time soon!!
