Im on 80mg of latuda once a day for depression.
It has done wonders for me! I honestly would probably be dead without it I was so low at one point. I think talking to PDOC will be good but I cant say enough about how good it has been. There are side effects but every one is different. I feel like a million bucks on it though.

Question/concern- I'm gradually coming down from a manicish episode and have almost flipped to depression since adding Latuda. I don't blame it, it probably still needs time to adjust and I am also cycling (lady stuff), but as said above, I'm still on my antidepressant and I am concerned that is what's holding me together and last month, prior to being medicated, I was super low at this point too. I guess I'm worried about going off the antidepressant, and/or maybe curious if anyone can tell me how long it takes for Latuda to start working??
As I said, I see my pdoc soon, so will be sure to address this there, but meanwhile I'm just both sharing and curious if any other members have had experience with or are curious to follow my journey with this medication for bipolar. Thanks!
