I have been taking Latuda for well over a year (perhaps even 2). I just got blood work that tested my metabolic functions (fasting) and my Triglycerides were super super high. Like 250 high. This is the exact reason I don't want to take medicine. Has anyone else experienced this on Latuda? Thank you for your help.

Is Latuda known to increase triglycerides? I'll do some research and check back in.
 Yes, it's listed as one possible side effect of Latuda. It's always something. I hope you can get your triglycerides down. What does your doc say about it? |

I havent been to my family doctor to talk about it yet. I am waiting to have my results posted so I can print them and show them. My Psychiatrist says we should monitor them while I am on my diet. I have been on a diet and exericise plan for 8 weeks

I have been on 40 and recently 20 mg of Latuda. I like what it does for my brain, but I too have much higher triglycerides and LDL Cholesterol.
I am working on it, but I def have the same issue.

I have extreme thirst on 60mg and I might need to get mine checked.

I had this problem with Abilify. My triglycerides went up to 433 within a year and fell to 212 after 3 months off of Abilify. We are still trying to get my blood sugar down enough which seem to be affected as well. Seeing my GP a lot. Trying to balance my physical and mental health. Have the Pdoc and the GP working together now, sort of..
