Hello. I am struggling with sever depression and invasive thoughts related to bipolar and ocd. I was put on latuda 2 and a half weeks ago and don't feel much better yet. I am on 60 mg. I'm hoping you all could give me some of your experience on how long it took your anti psychotic to kick in for depression

Lmt2292, it takes at least 2 weeks if not a month for this AD to kick in. Since you are not feeling any beneficial effects from it, I would call your prescriber as you might need a dosage increase or another med to enhance it. The maximum dose is 160 mg so your doc is starting you on a low dose. I hope this helps.
Best wishes. |

2 weeks "can" be too early to notice , but I would certainly let the Pdoc know.
Hope your feeling better soon
