Is latuda really expensive for you? Everyone keeps on trying to get me to start latuda too.

Though, admittedly, I'm running out of options since I've been on every atypical that I can afford. The only one I have left is risperdal, and how about no. I'm not starting anything that could make me lactate! Been there, done that. Don't want to be doing that when I'm not pregnant or recently just gave birth!

Have you asked your doctor about geodon? I actually lost weight when I was taking that.

So far haldol isn't making me gain anything either. Not that I recommend that one!
The manufacturer of Latuda has a discount card that knocks off some of the cost for those high copays. I end up getting mine for $15. Without it, I'm not sure I could afford the copay. It's one of those Tier 3 ones. It'll be nice when there's a generic available!
Thanks for this!
