Latuda caused a lot of other problems for me, I was on med leave for 2 1/2 months and that was last summer and I'm still having issues.

I'm glad you were able to get ahold of your pdoc and get off of it. I've heard with latuda it's either pure hell or a god send.
Yikes! Sorry to hear that!

I took latuda a LONG time ago but super low dose and no side effects. It simply wasn't helpful for what I was going through during that time. Hope things look up for you.
