Anyone heard of this drug? I was put on Latuda yesterday by my pdoc who said it is a fairly new drug that is an atypical antipsychotic, that inhibits dopamine reuptake... kinda like an SSRI but for dopamine (I am on SSRIs so it made sense to me that way). He gave it to me for my Tourette's syndrome, cause he says Tourette's has to do with dopamine and since this drug helps your dopamine functioning, then it should work for my Tourette's... He gave it to me yesterday and i took it for the first time last night, and i got extreme nausea for about an hour. I am hoping that will go away, like it is just a side effect that will go away in a few days? Cause i don't think i can tolerate all that much more, it was awful. Then i fell asleep by like 7 or 8pm... so it was extremely drowsy-making to me.
