I was trying to read up some on it, but I can't find anything about it helping with impulsivity.
Also, I don't suffer from bipolar or Schizophrenia which is what it usually is prescribed for. I have major depression, anxiety, and borderline, but no psychosis.
Is anyone else prescribed Latuda and NOT have bipolar, Schizophrenia, or psychosis? Can anyone confirm it's good for impulsivity? Or SI? Or SI and SUI thoughts?

All of the atypical antipsychotics can be used to help with impulsivity, especially the impulsivity and SI that accompany borderline PD. It's also slightly sedating, so it may help with your anxiety as well. I've seen a lot of colleagues use it lately to augment depression meds, especially in women of child bearing age because it's a pregnancy class B (I don't know how old you are or if you're male or female). To directly answer your question, it theoretically is supposed to be helpful with impulsivity and the SI that often accompanies borderline PD. I hope it works well for you.
