This is only my second dose, but I took it way down from 40 mgs to 10 mgs. I feel much better on the 10, but still feel like crap. I'm so anxious and scared, I'm starting to get panicky again about getting sick, and my stomach has been really finnicky, I don't get it!! The people on my treatment team are hinting that I'm being non compliant with medication, but how can they hold it against me that I can't tolerate basically every medication!! Ugh! This is so annoying I'm just going to stop taking it.

Latuda is a pain in the butt med. I'm on it. I think I'm on 80mg (bipolar dose, but I'm not bipolar). We just kept increasing it until my SI and SUI thoughts subsided. But...it causes me horrible nausea. And it has caused Tardive dyskinesia. So now I have to take another med which causes horrible dry mouth, but all of this is worth it to be free of my thoughts.

Can I be honest? You've got to give the meds a shot. You could totally be psyching yourself out. Side effects do go away. You just need to be patient.
