User Reviews for Latuda oral

insomnia

I suffer from severe depression and have ADD. I was hoping to change my ADD medication from Dexedrine to Adderal but my Dr suggested I try Latuda. He was telling me about the success rate of other patients. I made a comment it sounded like a miracle drug. He said it kind of is. I have been on Latuda for nine days. I'm definately feeling better!

feeling much more agitated over the past few days. I am on day five of the starter pack.

i gained 40lbs in two months. my appatite went from normal to completely insatiable. i could never get full, even when i was so physically full that i was uncomfortable. on a whole it worked fine for what it was supposed to do, but the side effects were worse that the symptoms it was supposed to eliminate.

shows some improvement but the voices are there and the confusion and memory problems

I've only been on Latuda for a few days. I switched from Serequel (which I loved) because I became borderline diabetic. I have been a lot more aggressive the last couple of days. I have NEVER been aggressive before. I don't know if it's the addition of Latudo or the subtraction of the Serequel. Anyone else have that problem?

went from seroquel 100mg. to latuda because of weight gain. i am up and down all night. very much deppession. do not like any new meds . very much NOT SATISFIED.

Been on Latuda for 3 weeks. Was a little buzzed the first few days, like a humming in my head. That has subsided and I feel much better and happier. I am bipolar with urges to hurt self and others at times, these urges are gone.

SO FAR SO GOOD NO SIDE EFFECTS.I SWITCHED FROM SEROQUEL BECAUSE IT LEFT ME SLEEPY ALL DAY NEXT DAY AND COULDNT GET OUT OF BED NOT TO MENTION IT MADE ME EAT AT NIGHT GAINED 40 LBS BEING ON IT. THEN WENT TO SHPRIS I HATED THAT BECAUSE OF THE TASTE AND DIDNT WORK FOR ME NOW ON LATUDA FOR A MONTH NOW I FEEL GOOD I WAKE UP EARLIER AND HAVE ENERGY TO GET THROUGH THE WHOLE DAY I EVEN STARTED EATING HEALTHIER AND GOING TO THE GYM 3 DAYS A WEEK FOR CARDIO.SO WORKS GREAT FOR ME GOING TO STAY ON IT..............Read More Read Less

involuntary muscle movement. headache. shivering. waking up in middle of night sweating and shivering.

Latuda has eliminated the delusions and paranoia that the Geodon/Navane were no longer controlling. There has only been one side-effect, excessive sleep. I must sleep for 90-120 minutes within 90 minutes of taking the medication. I do have clear thoughts for the rest of the day, usually.

I want to stop taking Latuda. been taking it for 3 weeks, and have started having heart palpitations and breathlessness. I am in excellent physical shape for a 65 year old woman, training with a top pro 3 times a week, swimming every day. I had blood clots pass through my heart 6 years ago, but made it to e.r. in time to have them dissolved. I have an irregular heart beat, but traning was making that almost disappear. how do I get off this stuff?

Started Latuda about 2 months ago for chronic insomnia and depression. I switched from 50 mg of Seroquel because seroquel left me with serious "brain fog" the next day and didn't help with any depression/anxiety symptoms. I like Latuda b/c it is helping me sleep (40mg dose) and I do believe I saw an immediate improvement in mood though I still have moments of sadness and anxiety. The one drawback is that I take it at night and it has to be taken with at least 350 calories. This makes it difficult as I'm hungry for dinner way before bedtime so still trying to work out some sort of schedule to avoid eating 2 meals a night!Read More Read Less
