Hey everyone, my name is Lisa. I am currently dx as bipolar, adjustment disorder and GAD. I currently take ..25 klonopin daily and 20 latuda. Had anyone had any experience with the latuda?

Yep, I take 80mg a day and it works for me. I got a little jittery and sleepless when I bumped to 120, but I came back down to 80 and I'm feeling better now. I think it's a good drug. We had tried to switch to seroquel, but came back to latuda and just increased the dose because it worked better for me. No side effects either. I hope u have good luck with your new meds!

How are the meds working for you so far?
I hope the combination will work well for you.

I have been on the latuda 4 weeks tomorrow, I am currently sitting in my psych office bc I woke up with the worst depression this morning, and have been having body aches since starting the latuda. I have the okay to up it to 40 but with already having body aches I am scared to! My husband says I am very moody and ill as all get out! I don't like to be like this and I have cried all day today!

I had a very productive appointment yesterday, she decided that Latuda is not the right medication for me. I have not taken it today and began the antibiotics for the sinus infection, and ear infection. I will also begin the Welbutrin today. I am actually still a little achy today but have had a great deal of anxiety leading up to me taking the antibiotics this morning. I do not do well taking medications.Thanks for checking in!

Lisa, glad to hear the app went well. I hope the Welbutrin will work well for you.

I also hope you feel better and your infection goes away soon. The antibiotics should help it.

Hi Lisa,

I am dx with bipolar, Borderline Personality disorder, PTSD, and anxiety/depression. I take a lot of meds but I recently switched from abilify to latuda. Started with 20mg, then raised to 60mg, 80mg, 100mg, and then this week to the max dose of 120mg. I was fine with 100mg but the 120mg has made me extremely dizzy. Have you experienced this problem?

Sincerely,
Serenity
