I'm pretty sure my doc is going to up my dosage but I'm noticing changes already as well. Glad it's working for you!

I take it at night as well. Still only at 40mg currently. I've noticed that my moods don't go to the extreme they did before. For instance I don't fall into as deep of a depression or I'm not crazy manic. Lamictal sounds like a pretty common medication for us

Either Latuda was pooping out on me or it was circumstantial...or both. Probably both.

What a bummer. I was thinking of Latuda too. Will check my insurance first.
