Have you gained any weight on Latuda? I increased in recently and have noticed a big appetite. I’m trying to keep it under control but I feel like I’m starving.
I gained weight on Seroquel… but when that got cut back and the Latuda got added… I was able to get up and moving more… that helped drop the weight…
Due to Seroquel jacking up the blood sugar… I’m on Metformin… that is when my weight started to really drop back down… but at the same time… as a gardener… I have a pretty physical job.
I think the more movement and the metformin together helped me get my weight back down.
I tried four antipsychotics. Haldol was the worst followed by Abilify. I like Risperdal and Latuda. Risperdal works really well for positive symptoms for me but makes me gain weight, makes me lazy, makes me have no drive, energy, motivation, and makes me fat. I wish I could just be on Latuda but it isn’t strong enough.
