Yup. I'm on Latuda now, and my pdoc doesn't really think it's doing enough, but she is willing to have me try it one more month in combination with going to therapy to see if that makes a difference.

Initially, Latuda was helping for about a month. But then things became increasingly stressful. She bumped my Latuda up from 40 mg to 60 mg. At 60, I felt kind of "numb" and had involuntary movements, so we went back down to 40 mg. I don't think 60 mg made such a drastic difference in helping with my mood... maybe just a bit. The side effects went away once I went back down to 40 mg. So it is difficult for me to determine how much it is actually helping me.
