Between what most (but not all) members here have said about Latuda I feel quite encouraged. What adds to the encouragement is that these last four days on Latuda have been progressively better days. I feel very good today.

It's almost impossible, at this time, for me to know if Latuda is affecting my appetite. I'm on 600 mg of Seroquel XR, as well. I had my Seroquel XR dose increased only a few days before the Latuda was added. Seroquel XR at higher doses is not weight friendly for me.

My psychiatrist said if Latuda works out that he would raise the dose and lower my Seroquel XR dose. As you all know, 20 mg Latuda is just a starter dose. Plus, my Tegretol may lessen its effect. I'm hoping I could get down to 300 mg or less of Seroquel XR while on higher doses of Latuda. Then I'd perhaps know if Latuda affects my weight in any way. Doses of 300 mg of Seroquel XR have been weight neutral for me, in the past. We'll see.

If Latuda is not altogether perfect at preventing mania, I guess my Seroquel XR dose could again be manipulated if it will be lowered.

That's interesting that you take naltrexone for appetite control. I had never heard of it being used for that, but I guess I can see it doing that. I took it for a short time a long time ago to reduce alcohol cravings. It wasn't that helpful for me. I found Campral (acamprosate) more effective for that purpose. I don't know if Campral could be used for appetite control, though I see a side effect is "appetite loss". At the time, naltrexone was much cheaper than Campral. Perhaps Campral is now available in generic.
