Latuda... any weird side effects?

Answers

choo_chu 20 April 2024

I’m not sure whether this is a weird side effect, but…I have really vivid, bizarre dreams. They aren’t exactly nightmares, but they aren’t normal either, and they wake me up. For this reason, I take it in the AM. I prefer to drink a little extra coffee every morning to offset drowsiness than having unusual dreams that interrupt my sleep. This didn’t happen at 20 mg. It started when I was taking 40mg. I’ve settled at 60mg and it still happens.
Here are a couple tidbits that may or may not be relevant. If I take drugs like Lunesta, Ambien and Sonata, I sleep walk. When I take trazodone, I get night terrors. Same thing happens with Tramadol. Maybe I have odd brainwaves when I sleep, I don’t know.

Hi, ac-79!
I'm not sure exactly what you mean. Are you having side effects or asking about potential ones? Why don't you post again with the details.
Meanwhile, here's a link to the literature on Latuda including side effects:

I'm on 40mg a day. When I was taking just 20mg I didnt have any side affects. On 40 I take it with food like suggested. I sill have a witd side affect or something. It's kind of hard to really explain. It's like I'm there, but my body feels like it not, maybe feels kinda drunk feeling. Yeah it's really hard to explain in words.

New or increased side effects can occur after a dosage increase... and you doubled your dose. But what you're describing is kind of weird.
Have you spoken with your doctor about this. If not, you should because it's important to report side effects during the initial period of adjustment to the medication.
