I don't know what's common but I'm on 60, my Pdoc said something about 120 or 180 ( I've a bad memory but it was 100 something) being the highest recommend. So I was well within the parameters.

I enjoy 40mg. Have not tried others. My pdoc comes from the lowest effective dose school of thought.

I'm still feeling my new pdoc out. I take 10mg zyprexa as part of my cocktail and were looking to replace it with the Latuda. He's titrating me up on it right now. I'll be in 60 mg for three weeks before I see him next. He's super nice and takes my feeling into account. If I feel "over medicated" before next appt he said to go ahead and stop zyprexa. He took me off lithium I that I hated so u love him!

It helped me with the noise in my head, paranoida and the mixed symptoms. I started lamital about two weeks before I started the Latuda so it could be the combo.

My pdoc wants it to help with impulsivity and paranoia. I get mixed symptoms too.
