What do you mean you feel high? Like how? I've never taken latuda so I have no experience to share but maybe if you explain more someone else will.

Latuda did not make me feel high in anyway. I would report any symptoms like that to your doctor. What kind of high? How does it feel exactly? Can you put it in words?

No side effects. Just a weird pressure in my head that made me feel really good. I felt feelings of euphoria on my skin though. But not manic, hyper, racy. Just chill and feeling that feeling.

That description sounds kinda manic to me. Sounds pleasant though, from how you describe it. Psych meds usually just make me feel crappy. I could take a side effect like that...as long as it didn't last too long. Still probably a good idea to report this to your doctor. Are you still feeling it?

Latuda made me hypo the first week I took it, but I don't recall feeling high like that. Then I had 2 weeks of bad irritability. After that I was fine. Has been a good med for me.

I had initially felt "energized," maybe a touch hypomanic. That had quieted down in 2-3 weeks or so.
