I started taking this in April (20mgs). I started getting these really weird headaches about a month or so in. I couldn't pin point why. Recently I thought it may have been the latuda. I stopped taking it this morning. I think I already notice positive results. See how the week goes.

Anyone take or used to take latuda?

I enjoy Latuda at 40mg. I have for about 16 months, Was tough during the initial 4 week adjustment, but it has been worth it.

Glad you are feeling better without it.

I take 180 mg (max dose). It was rough at first, but I was swapped straight from Abilify without titrating down. Like Moogie said I was fine after about a month. For me it is a miracle drug. I'm sorry it's not working for you.

I used to be on Latuda 120 mg for bipolar disorder and it had no effect at all. I have now switched to lithium.
