Continuing the discussion from Latuda anyone? :
I went to my Psychiatrist today and everything is going awesome with my meds that I am on he asked how Latuda40mg was working for me and I said it works great I don’t have the Increased Appetite and no side effects at all he said that’s good. He said I would of had side effects a long time ago or within the first few days of being on it if I was going to have any side effects at all they show up in the beginning when you first begin taking Latuda40mg or any Psychotic meds side effects show up first thing. I have only seen positive things about Latuda40mg so far I haven’t been as hungry as I was when I was on Abilify5mg and haven’t gained any weight from it haven’t lost any either but I am working on that by eating less and exercising or doing any type chores just doing chores around the house is exercise in itself. You can work up a sweat running up and down stairs and doing little things like Laundry dishes and running a vacuum since I don’t have no side effects from the Latuda40 or the Lexapro20 I am on it may be easier for me to lose weight. With Abilify5 it was near impossible but not impossible, I did manage to lose 30 pounds on it but gained it back it made me so mad when that happened.30 pounds came off when I exercised and dieted with Slim fast and weight watchers meals. Also I was taking Alli at the time too. May go back to taking Alli and drinking Slim fast to get the extra weight I gained when I was on Abilify5mg off forever for good.

I will state it again - This is good news @Melina , I will be discussing Latuda with my psychiatrist next week
Congratulations. I’m glad this is working out for you. As long as your feeing better,
I’m also on Latuda 40 mg and that with the cut back in the seroquel my life turned around. I’ve been able to keep the weight off. I’m really happy with how this turned out.
The med change either turned me into a different person, or in to the very old person I forgot was under all this debris.
