I have bipolar 2. I tried Latuda and as others have said, I found it extremely agitating. However, antipsychotics as a rule tend to give me extreme anxiety attacks that I never experience otherwise. I was so fearful taking Latuda that I was panicked by Native American flute music on PBS—whoa. The agitation is sometimes described as akathesia.
