While Latuda has brrn great for my moods-it has given me a annoying side effect! I am SO thirsty all the time!!! Think: must keep a beverage available at all times and be prepared to need the restroom too!
I called dr office to see if this is common but no return call today. It's miserable.  Anyone else get this?

Not on Latuda but in general. My therapist teases me that I'm his most hydrated patient but I have to drink or I suffer. DumDum lollipops help because they are really sour but they are sugary so not ideal. Other sour, non-sugar candy can help. The thing that helps most is Ecodent gum which I buy from Amazon. It has baking soda in it which helps with the dry mouth. Toothpaste with baking soda in it is also supposed to help; I'm not sure how much it did for me. I used Arm and Hammer brand. I definitely got more cavities from dry mouth after I changed from that toothpaste though.
There are products for dry mouth called biotene you can get at pharmacies, walmart etc. I tried it long ago and thought it tasted like warm spit; I'm told that's not the case now.

Well I called my pdocs office to ask if I should be concerned or whatnot and said how miserably thirsty I've been and they Called back today. He decreased it from 60mg to 40 a day.
