r/Latuda

I’ve been on Latuda for about two months. I started at 20 mg and felt like my depression improved within the first week, but I had a depressive episode during the third week. I’m pretty sure I was hypomanic when I first started the medication.
I went up to 40 mg during the second month, but I haven’t really noticed a difference. I still have some depression, and my mood hasn’t stabilized yet. I’m also currently at 50 mg of Lamictal, titrating up every two weeks.
For those who take Latuda, how long did it take before you felt like your mood stabilized? Did you notice a difference after increasing your dose?

Its been 3 days now. The one medication is out of my system, so I start taking Latuda. Which is ok, but Im afraid of having side effects from it. I get side effects from almost everything I take. I dont want to end up in the hospital, so Im still afraid of the side effects if any. 🤷🏼‍♀️

No motivation to do anything

Thinking about wanting to not exist several times a day. Anxiety

Latuda 20mg 2-3 weeks and Prozac 30mg a month (because went off it, back on). Should I just make an appointment with my psych to up the dosage? My next appointment is in November but I feel horrible.

At least I am not crying everyday like when I was off Prozac.

So my psychiatrist put me on Latida 20mg about 2ish weeks ago. I have never been diagnosed with bipolar or schizophrenia so I imagine that he got this great idea to put me on this because my therapist noticed an extreme change in my affect that appeared manic due to the heavy trauma that I have experienced in 2026.

Any way the issue is that I have NO motivation and I am restless at night. I take all my meds in the morning besides Trazodone. I have ADHD and major chronic depression, due to my ADHD, hyper focusing on a single task is how I am able to be efficient and productive at work and in life I guess. Now I have no motivation to do anything, I just don’t care about much.

Anyone else experienced this or have had it prescribed off label? Before making this post, I emailed my provider with these negative side effects so I am just seeing if there are any other people that have experienced the same.

I guess I'm looking for reassurance or something.

I'm bipolar 1. After 16 months of severe depression, I started Latuda 20mg. I was already taking Lithium and tapering off Depakote. I have a psych but I was resisting further meds.

I had akathisia, rage, suicidal thoughts. I drove recklessly. I couldn't eat beyond that 350 calories it needs because I'd get so nauseous. But I wasn't depressed! I took it for three weeks to see if it would chill and it didn't. My psych told me to stop cold turkey and use Klonopin when needed for two weeks.

Problem is, I start a new job in five days and I can't be on Klonopin or having withdrawal symptoms. And I've never had them this bad on anything. I can't sleep and I feel like my body needs to jog. I'm twitchy and I feel so GI sick. My body does not like Latuda

I'm gonna call my psych once it's not the middle of the night but I feel so bad. Its scaring me a bit and nobody IRL gets it.
