Im on week 3 of latuda. I started on 20mg and went to 40mg the second week and had a little bit of nausea. BUT I took first dose of 60mg last night and man oh man...it was awful. I felt SO sick and could barely cope. Tonight I had a big dinner and took it right after and had a small snack with it. Amazingly I don't have the nausea so far. Im keeping my fingers crossed. I don't want to have to eat a lot to keep it at bay. :/

Has anyone else dealt with nausea? Did it eventually go away?? Im also dealing with allergies and get vertigo off and and altogether its too much to deal with. Yuck!

Hi Hallie!

At first, I too really had to eat a big belly full to get over similar side effects. It got a lot better after 3-4 weeks. It has been worth it for sure. Hang in there!

I didn't experience nausea on Latuda, it increased my appetite though and I gained weight rapidly on it. It also didn't help my symptoms but it seems to help a lot of other people.
