The quest for the real cures for any diseases are not lucrative for pharmaceutical companies, along with the new mechanizations of the processes used by developing new drugs, they are struggling in their businesses, they too know all too well that their previous business model of coming up with new drugs every few years and sending it to the market isn't working as it once was.
Abilify is another one from Japanese pharma if I remember correctly, please go find FDA approved generic ones instead, I'm serious, please consider the responsibilities of picking the right psych meds for the sake of future schizo/bipolar patients.)
Boycott Latuda! (There are other antipsychotics to choose from!)
They are making drugs that don't cure, they are not working enough on the mechanism of MI, instead, they are after big blockbusters like the Latuda still is for them. They've done it before, "Ooops, we didn't know about these side-effects because the clinical trials were too short!"
Please think about the real side effects of psychopharmacology, where you spend your money counts. Let's bring them down now!! Japanese government is too ***** to tackle this problem, they need to be taught good ethics and I believe you can help.

There's no reason to boycott a perfectly good medication. Latuda is one of the best medications I've been on, and actually, the one that's worked for me the longest. Sure I could be on generic Seroquel, but even at 800mg/day, eventually it stopped working. Zyprexa's another one where I was on a generic but it made me gain 35lbs in 2 months! That's much worse IMO than anything Latuda might do!
