Bipolar Disorde
"The first time I took Latuda was in the hospital and I was put on 40 mg. I had a little nausea, but no other side effects. Later my psychiatrist raised the dose to 80 mg. That&#039;s when I started having severe akathisia and vomiting (no weight gain or loss though). It seemed almost intolerable, but I stuck with it for several months. I then switched to Abilify but soon was taken off antipsychotics all together. I was stable for several months, but then started having mania again. Recently, my psychiatrist recommended that I try Latuda at a smaller dose. I was skeptical, but I decided to try it. I love it! The dose is just enough to control my symptoms, and I&#039;ve had no side effects. My new insurance is denying it though, so I&#039;m on samples."
