User Reviews for Latuda

I started Latuda about a week and a half ago and for once, my husband noticed I had a brighter mood. The nausea hits me a little bit but it's not so severe that I would stop the medication. For those who take Verapamil for migraines (etc) should be warned - my psychiatric nurse practitioner did not say there is a moderate interaction between these two medications. Verapamil potentiates Latuda, thus making Latuda stronger. I haven't had any other nasty side effects. No EPS. Good sign.

I have now been on a 40mg a day dose of Latuda since April 18th, 2011, and it is now September 10, 2011. I have found the Latuda in conjunction with 200 mg of Geodon, I have been on it since 2002. I am now as balanced as I have been in the last 41 years. The only side effect has been a dry mouth; however, I have no teeth, at age 51, and it is not bad.

I have had MUCH success with getting rid of hallucinations, but this is simply not treating the bipolar portion of my schizoaffective disorder. I'm having severe racing thoughts, compulsive lying, and general mania right now, and I'm on 80mg.

This medicine has been amazing. I was put on 40 mg at night and we changed it to 20 mg in the morning and 20 mg at night. It makes me a bit sedated during the day, but honestly this is a relief, since I'm just really glad not to be so paranoid and afraid anymore. It's made the voices leave, paranoia go way down, and I don't fly off the handle over every little thing anymore. No weight gain, no increased appetite, and I don't feel dumb as a rock like I have on Risperdal or Geodon. Would definitely recommend this medicine to anyone who hasn't tried it but who needs a change! I've been on it for about 4 and a half weeks.

I've been on this medication for about a year now, and when first started it everyone noticed a change. I've got better on Latuda for my schizoaffective disorder. I use Celexa and Lamictal with it, and I can finally control everything about my disorder. I got my life back on Latuda, it has given me more energy, and I can get out and do just about everything now, when before I couldn't do anything.
