I'm on 60mg. I had no side effects the first time. After a year I decided it was time to taper off, I stayed on the lamictal-- too much trouble to restart.
Going off--Mmmmm not such a good idea. Was fine at first then a couple months on started having trouble with some mixed symptoms. Took a bit longer the second time to work plus I had a lot of hair loss. But it seems to have stabilized now. Pretty sure it will get as thick as usual as my body gets used to it. I think of latuda as a mood stabilizer. Helps the depression but it also helps the hypomania and mixed symptoms too. I haven't had any depression while on it although I got a bit hypo it wasn't anything to worry about.
