Latuda

Hi all, got new script today, 40mg. Latuda, its supposed to take the place of my Zyprexa, which I gained weight very quickly on. Anyone else tried this? New scripts scare the heck out of me!!

Latuda worked great for me. It really messed up my sleep at first... I couldnt stay awake at all for a couple days... then for a couple days I was awake all the time. After that, it worked great aside from the restlessness I experienced from it but I've been told I have a sensitivity to medications... whatever that means. Anyway, I hope it works as great for you as it did for me. i was on 60 mg.

My last trip to the hospital the Pdoc there insisted I change to Latuda ...
I was only on for 4 or 5 days and once I got out of the hospital my Pdoc took me off it .. For me it was a finacial issue ... I have heard others speak highly of it and are getting good results .. Im sure those on it or have tried it will be along to give there personal story.

I don't have bi-polar but am on Latuda. Latuda is my last hope before they put me on something that causes weight gain. It is wonderful stuff for me! I have not had ANY side affects since I got past the sleep three or four days straight but that could be attributed from going off of Geodon - evil stuff I tell you. I didn't realize Latuda was being used for anything but psychosis already. It's only been out since January or so. I was the very first patient in my state hospital on it. The doctor there wants me to write him every so often to let him know how I'm doing on it lol.

Thanks all! I took it with my dinner last night, while at work. Wow, my eyes were slamming shut!! Other then that, I woke up very early full of energy. Keep you posted

Yeah I take it with a snack at bedtime because of the drowsiness it causes. I now can stay up through it and even drive after taking it if I have to. Don't recommend that but I'm getting used to it so my alertness isn't as affected as before. Another reason I take it at bed time, by then i'm pretty sure I won't be going anywhere.
