I hate Latuda!

It caused my cholesterol to elevate even further than it was before!!!

I'm going to die

No, but for real... my doctor called and was like, "yeah, this sh*t's pretty bad. you need to come in for an immediate appointment. you have hypercholesterolemia and if it goes untreated, you can have a heart attack"

So much for magical Latuda

Oh no! Latuda has been a great drug for me. Sorry to hear it has been so bad for you. I'm sure your pdoc can find something better for you.

I'm on cholesterol meds because of the latuda...I'm not ready to let go of the latuda yet, it's been too good of a drug otherwise

I'm so sorry this happened. I just got taken off Latuda due to an allergic reaction. Now I'm afraid of all meds again.

It's good to know we can all die together, whether we die by cholesterol or by allergic reaction
Thanks for this!

These meds are no joke. I get paranoid and think they are intentionally subduing us and slowly poisoning us to make us more manageable. To help us assimilate with the masses.

Well, Latuda causes your brain mass to deteriorate over time (it technically causes a reduction in the grey matter)

So yep, it's a poison! It probably causes death when your brain shrinks to the size of a peanut

Okay, that's a bit of an exaggeration. lol. But it does kill brain cells.

I need that medicine so much. I have been dealing with automatism because of latuda. The other day I was sitting outside my gym feeling a plant. Then suddenly I realized I was sitting outside my gym feeling a plant.
