Doc changed me from 20 to 40. The first two nights were fine but now I'm laying here and feel like I could go run 10 miles. Would this be normal to feel the change a few days after ? Ugh I have to be up in 3 hours and this isn't looking pretty.

Some meds have had a quick change on me like that, yes.

Your pdoc may have some strategies to suggest to you to alleviate these symptoms (hopefully) ....

Just wondering if you went to sleep after taking latuda and then woke up? That's what is happening to me and our meds are really alot alike and I just went from 20mg latuda to 40 myself.My meds are buspar 90 mg., ativan 2mg. 3x a day, brintillix 20mg., ritalin 20mg. 2x a day, and the latuda. I have just been on the latuda and brintillix for a couple of months. I have also put on about 10 or more pounds since starting the latuda. Have you noticed any weight gain? (just starting treatment for bipolar 2)

When I was changed from 40mg to 60mg of Latuda, I went into a medication induced hypomania. I think that a slightly high dose can cause too much energy. You may need to decrease the dose.

Been on 40mg of latuda for 9 months.. No weight gain issues.. Really no side effects that I've noticed. I take seroquel at night though or yes I'd be up for days and get into a mess

Just a quick note to say I too have been upgraded from 20 mg to 40 mg Latuda after dinner. It's made me neither sleepy nor hyper-awake. But then I take benzos to help me get to sleep.

After a month I'm inclined to say it's a pretty benign med. (No weight issues either.) And, it's the first thing that's worked for my bipolar depression.
