Thanks for everyone's input. Luckily my stepdad works plowing snow in the winter for county roads. So our family gets great insurance and I have $0 dollar copays on all generic and brand name medications. This isn't to brag. It's just a blessing.

This was not the molecule that they were looking for, folks. Latuda blows. Sunovion Dainippon Pharma might as well have been feeding me Fukushima cesium. Expect psychotropic blowback.

I've been on Lamictal and Welbutrin for 13 years. Last year, my new psychiatrist put me on Latuda. It has been just what I needed for my bipolar depression. I take 60 mgs a day. It is the only thing that has actually helped my bipolar depression!

I was on the max dose (120mg) last semester and I was in a pretty dark place, idk how I could've sunk any lower (well suicide I guess), but I'm weaning off it now because I don't think it did much for me, and at this point it just seems like one more pill I'm taking for no reason, sooo... bye bye.

Love hate relationship with the Latuda. It makes me vomit at times but I get extremely strong suicidal urges. Latuda corrected this. I know it is latuda because I have tried going off it and the strong suicidal urges come back. So it has been a life saver, literally.
