Latuda is more of an mood stabilizer than an antipsychotic. It carries a very low risk for tardive dyskinesia that's something of typical antipsychotics. It does carry a risk for weight gain and diabetes, but exercise can help reduce that risk. Hope that helps.

Ive have been on all the atypical antipsychotics approved for teens( except clozapine which they are considering). To tell ell mel the truth latuda didn't help me.( please ignore rhyming and nonsense sentences). But it was for psychosis not for being for mood. I was scared at first about tardive dyskinesia(TD) and weight gain. Sunflowers go zip paint look. I have gained a lot of weight because of all the antipsychotics I have tried. look sigh picture wolf screaming.

Personally I want off, but I can't let me parents down. Two I go more and more in the depths of psychosis. So low mow co that's my I felt it is worth it.
