Latuda is used a lot for bipolar depression. It was initially helpful to me, but then stopped being effective.

I have always been reticent to take APs and have often refused; however, when depressions and CPTSD have gotten so bad I was quite sure I was going to lose my life, I've given in and have taken APs. I am now on Abilify, along with other meds.

As the prior poster has mentioned, it's helpful to consider potentials benefits vs. potential costs.

It's a tough decision to make. It's helpful to also consider "quality of life."
It's also a very individual decision.
