My psychiatrist just gave me a sample pack of Latuda to take as needed for intrusive suicidal thoughts. I can't find other information online of using the drug like this. Has anyone else used it in this format?

Latuda takes some time to build up in your system so I don't see how it could be effective as an as-needed drug. I've never heard of using it that way.

Not sure how effective an AAP like Latuda will be PRN. Go for it I guess. I take it nightly with great results.
