I took it for a few months. Started at 20 mg, and after 3 days I felt noticeably better. The first two nights taking it I had terrible, fragmented sleep, but after a few days it actually evened out my sleep to about 8 hours a night (I was sleeping around 12). My pdoc wanted me on at least 80 mg, so I was titrating up every few weeks. At 40 mg, my anxiety started getting worse and I was pretty fatigued for the first part of the day. At 60 mg I got akathisia and nothing helped it, so went back to 40 (I could handle increased anxiety but the akathisia was terrible). Stayed there for awhile, but I felt like I was being stabilized at a very mild depression. Cloudiness, fatigue, general apathy. If 20 mg would have gotten rid of the lingering psychotic symptoms it would have been great for me. Overall, I think Latuda was one of the few things that actually made me feel better for awhile.
Thanks for this!
