I hate it, but you might like it.
It's pretty useless for my depression (it's helped shorten the duration, but worsened the severity... go figure), and it makes me sleep for ages. I haven't been on it long enough to say if it actually prevents hypo/mania for me, but I know there's not enough research evidence to conclude if it's effective at preventing hypo/mania. That's why Latuda is only marked for bipolar depression, not for bipolar hypo/mania. (For some people, however, it actually does prevent hypo/mania.)
All I know is, I got depressed on it 3 times and it makes me really irritable. I want off it. In fact, I haven't taken it for 3 days now and I already feel a million times better. I would've told my pdoc about it, except he's on vacation... so he'll find out on Tuesday I guess.
I just thought I would give my opinion, since most people seem to have positive responses to it.
