I looked over threads here on Latuda. I didn't see any rave reviews. Has anyone here found it really helpful for depression or anxiety? My diagnosis is "recurrent major depression with anxiety."

How fast did it take to work for you?? What dosage are you guys on if you dont mind me asking?? My doctor just suggested this, and I took it , I see a bit or relief from my anxiety, and the problem I have is that it is very sedating, like it makes me sleepy, will that go away? Did you guys feel that?

I haven't actually tried it yet. I could use some sedation, so maybe I will soon. When I dig out the container, I'll tell you the dosage ordered.
