Doc prescribed Latuda for my bipolar- feedback requested

I've been on it for a month and it has helped the irritability, and rage. At first I took it at bedtime but had trouble eating 350 calories so switched to dinner time, by then the sleepiness affect had worn off, strangely despite needing to eat 350 or more calories for optimal effect I'm no longer gaining weight. Probably because I have to eat something with the meds so I'm more conscious of what I'm eating and starting to eat healthier.

Most notably it stopped the music/ noise I've always had in my head, it's really quiet now, it's nice. I'm hopping it goes on working for a long time. So far no side effects which for me is a miracle. I started lamictal at the same time and the combo is great.

I don't know how to copy and paste on this iPod or I'd send you some links to programs for medicine savings. I'll try to remember when I'm on the computer.

Ok that sounds good I can't remember what they have me on now but it seems to be working

Latuda seemed to work well for me but the anxiety it caused just became too much to bear. For 3-4 hours after I'd take it the anxiety was so bad it was horrible. I tensed up to the point my muscles hurt and it took forever to fall asleep and I'd be extremely luck to sleep the whole night. Now I'm on Seroquel and doing much better. My doctor just said I was one of the unfortunate people to experience the anxiety side effect. Hopefully it doesn't do that for you. Good luck!
