I really believe that this is a wonder drug comparatively! I’m taking the dose increase slowly but could return to normal at this rate in contrast to how I usually feel…
Right now I am on 40 mg. I’m not vomiting at this dose but my doctor wants to sneak it back up to 60 mg which makes me nervous because she originally tried me on 60 mg and I vomited every. single. day. It was horrid. So we backed it back to 40 and I seem to be doing well. We’ll see what happens when we bump it up.
Its a good medicine in spite of my side effects. Works pretty good on the voices.

I just started taking it, took 20mg for a week and I just started taking 40mg now. I still take 120mg of Geodon a day too. They say it takes 3 to 4 weeks to get the full benefit and I hope it helps with the negatives . I definateky notice it helping with psychotic symptoms already. But man is the copay high on this drug.

40mg and still working my way up. Still have crazy visiuals. I don’t know if it’s supposed to help with those, but we’ll see. Just got a job today after two and a half years and can’t be freaking out and putting on a display!

Yes it’s fantastic for auditory hallucinations! Maybe you could take a supplement for the side effects?
My doctor is getting me off Latuda. She doesn’t think it’s doing much for me in terms of psychosis. I will just be on risperdal as long as my paranoia doesn’t return. If it does, I’ll go back on Latuda. She said I can’t be just on Latuda because it probably doesn’t do enough for paranoia.
I’m on 80 mg… it’s working really well. Latuda turned my life around.
I was on 60 mg… I was doing better… but still had a lot of voices and other hallucinations.
it got bumped to 80 and the voices don’t come out much anymore… it’s odd having a quiet head.
But I did get pretty manic… despite the 50 mg of Seroquel I’m on.
So now I’m also on Depakote to stop the manic swing.

Yep, increased to 60mg today because I still have hallucinations, paranoia and delusions. I believe this is the right thing to do. 40mg was beginning to help. Definitely helped with my depression. I used to have crying spells multiple times a day. Not anymore.
My only issue is it makes me unbelievably drowsy and when I wake up in the morning I can still feel the affect and my balance is way off. Hopefully this will pass as I take it.
Doc says sometimes increasing can make the side affects go away.

Just curious, do you have schizophrenia or schizoaffective?
I have schizoaffective and would surly hate to be manic with an increase, though I’m depressive type.
Hi, I’m sadly paranoid schizophrenic… it’s a real nightmare…
Are you taking Latuda also?
Yes, am on Latuda!
Is it not helping with your paranoia?
Is anyone depressed on Latuda?
My depression is much better, personally.
