I posted this on the psych med forum but I was wondering if anyone here with BPD has tried Latuda since I know that a lot of people with bipolar take it. I was recently prescribed it for severe depression.

If you've tried it, how long did it take to work? Did you get any side effects?

I've been experiencing a "feeling of doom" and restlessness shortly after taking it, and it's been messing up my sleep so I take benadryl at night.

I think it's been helping my depression but I'm not 100% sure. I'm just scared that the side effects will make me have to stop taking it in the future.

I wish there was a med specifically made for BPD I'm always very hesistant with taking new ones.
