I've been on a Latuda, lamicatal combo since April for BP II. It's been great, my family all commented on how stable I am compared to other meds I've been on. I have zero negative side effects, I'm on a fairly low dose of both meds though.

Starting Latuda tonight....glad I saw this thread...will provide my two-cents as I join Love&Toil on the Latuda path -- I will be coupled with WellButrin and Gabapentin.

Day 1 of Latuda -- not sure if I was just exhausted or if the drug helped, but I slept like a rock last night and woke up feeling very positive. Might be just my mood....idk...I know I reacted pretty quickly to Geodon and Abilify...so.

I'm schizoaffective bipolar type 1 so it's kind of different but I will say Latuda at 40mg saved my life during a horrible depressive episode last spring. It pulled me right out of it and I didn't have any side effects.

I am on 40mg, take it at night before bed, and I have been getting in the morning and no feeling irritable as I normally am...stress at work has started taking less of a toll on me.

Generally I feel better -- but it's only been, what, like 5 days since I started taking it, so not sure how much is generally my mood and how much the drug.

L&T, how are you fairing with it?
