Good luck with Lurasidone. It took me a while to sleep on it as I would want to get up and move but I got used to it. Hope it works out for you because for me its my favorite antipsychotic Ive been on.

Have you tried a lot of the others?
I have been on 10 so far
Lurasidone is something I have been on before but got akasthia and had to come off it in 2017
I also gained a lot of weight on it. Doctors say its not the drug tho. I donāt really know what to think.
the doctors are liars. my first pdoc told me the meds have no side effects and even said how could a tiny little pill make you gain weight. when i stopped olanzapine and went on geodon i was able to have full control over my eating habits and my metabolism seemed to renormalize as i lost all my ap weight in 4 months, mentally i was not as stable on that med tho. my new pdocs actually acknowledged the meds side effects and put me on other meds that are supposed to be not as bad. but i requested to go back on olanzapine because its the only med i really feel stable on

Iāve been on this combo for awhile, like 2-3 years maybe? Iāve gained weight, but thatās also in part of my sedentary lifestyle. I canāt think of any other major side effects from Latuda ā at least for me.
I was never able to lose the weight fully.
Although before I went on Olanzapine, I was really underweight from not eating
They found high levels of ketones in my blood when I was in hospital
