Schizophrenia
"Diagnosed as bipolar with depression and severe anxiety years ago, however my reason for Latuda doesn&#039;t quite fit in the &quot;bipolar&quot; category, so I&#039;m posting it here. I have been on another AAP (Zyprexa) for two years, but it doesn&#039;t cover all the bases for me. Got to the point where &quot;paranoid thoughts&quot; (as my Dr calls them) dominated a lot of my time. I was blockading my door, wouldn&#039;t leave my appartment after dark, etc. Dr added 40mg of Latuda to my cocktail. I don&#039;t know how long it took, but one night I realized thatI haven&#039;t been blocking the door. Sadly, I gained 15lbs in two months so I tried to quit the Latuda. As soon as I did, I went right back to paranoid me. I will have to deal with the weight (only side effect for me) to keep semi sane."
