How is Latuda?

My pdoc switched me to Latuda today and i’m quite curious about it. Has anyone taken Latuda? How have you guys been doing on it? Any weight gain?

I was on Latuda briefly but had a bad experience with it, it totally leveled me and I couldn’t focus on anything or drive for a good 2 days after my first dose, it was by far the most powerful drug I’ve ever been on. I stopped taking it after a few days and went back to clozapine.

I love latuda. The akathisia really sucks at night when i take the pill restless leg syndrome and stuff but on 40mg i have weight no gain but on 80mg i gained like 3 lbs a month. No where near as much as i gained on risperdal or zyprexa.

Nausea…restless legs while trying to sleep…permanent hard-off…I switched back to Abilify.

It’s good for me. Mellow, more outgoing.
