I guess what I am trying to say is that it took a little longer than a few days and was more on the order of a few weeks before I woke up one morning saying "I feel good today".
Hang in there and give yourself sometime for the Latuda to take effect. If your experience is anything like mine it will be worth the wait.

From your mouth to God's ears! I really hope that is the case. What dose were you on? I go to my pdoc tomorrow to discuss this first week on 40mg. My anxiety is still bad and I haven't felt my mood stabilized in the least bit. I'm hoping that it is a gradual medication instead of it just not working for me.
