Bipolar Disorde
"7 days ago my psych added Latuda 80mg a night to my usual diet of 300mg lithium and 0.5 mg Ativan (when required).  The first two days as he tapered me up to 80mg of Latuda I was tired almost sedated and super relaxed.  My horrible rapid cycling has stopped, paranoia significantly lessened. I have only cried 3 TIMES this week and I feel amazingly like &quot;my old self again.&quot;  I&#039;m almost afraid its to good to be true and suddenly side effects are going to start.  But so far so good!  The only thing I&#039;ve noticed is that I am eating again. I was having so much anxiety my food was choking me.  I am not gaining weight, just able to relax enough to eat.  I am hoping it will continue working and I will be able to wean off the lithium because of the side effects."
