I tried Latuda when it first came out and I wasn't impressed. But I was severely depressed and suicidal, I had just tried to go back to work after 3 months off and it didn't work, I was starting to realize I was done working, I had just been hospitalized with a bad lithium toxicity and the hospital staff messed up my other meds royally. So it wasn't the best time and I didn't give it much chance.

I need more anti-psychotic and I can't have more Seroquel XR b/c I'm already on 1200 mg. I can get Latuda through patient assistance so trying it isn't going to cost anything.

I emailed my dr telling her I'm in bad shape and liquid lithium is no better and possibly worse than tablets. (It's 4:45 and I'm wide awake and have been since 10 AM). We also had reduced my MAOI and that's not decreasing my agitation which is just growing.

I really hope she is in today and gets the email. That can be hit or miss and if she doesn't answer I have to call her secretary and ask her to pass on the message that I really need a response. I don't like doing that.

I'm sorry for posting so much. I'll try to stop. Mania-propelled freaking out....bad thing.
