What are your experiences with weight and latuda?
I've been losing weight like crazy, while also dieting and working out. But I'm not sure if it's me or the drug.

I lost like crazy on latuda too. But it gave me horrible akathisia so I had to go off it.

I lost 70 lbs while taking Latuda, but I was also dieting (Weight Watchers).

My weight remained fairly neutral on Latuda but I wasn't exercising much and did eat normally. I did lose a little weight but I am sure that was due to coming off Zyprexa. Was a good med side effects wise but did nothing for my BP.

Thanks all. Looks like I'm not the only one losing weight. If I go off of latuda will I gain all the weight back? That'd be disappointing lol.

I gained weight on Latuda. Currently stopped taking it, and I feel better already. Everyone is different, this particular drug is just not for me.

I haven't gained or lost weight on Latuda. I'm having to diet now so that helps.

It's been mostly weight neutral for me, I think.
