From past news, I had an interview with cellular phone company. I didn't get the job though. Feel a little down, but I have to keep trying. My pdoc increased my dose again this time to 1350 mg. That might make me feel a little drowsy with all the medication I'm on. But I going to give it a try. My lithium levels were really low. I've seen an extreme weight gain in me recently. I'm having a hard time loosing the weight. My pdoc said he will address the metformin not working in a month. He is also thinking taking me off Lithium and putting me on Latuda. Does anyone have tips for about Latuda? |
Latuda is supposed to be taken with 350 calories, so most people take it with supper. Although in my case, it makes me too drowsy if I take it a supper so my pdoc and I decided I'll take it with a small snack at bedtime and we won't worry about the 350 calorie number. I think it works for me, though I did have to supplement it with valproate.
