Latuda
bipolar disorde
"I have been battling bipolar the majority of my life. At one point I was on 8 different medications: lamictal, depakote, seroquel, elavil, neurontin, propranolol, a couple I can't think of.  My most recent doctor got me down to 3, the main one being Lithium. I began Latuda on 20mg for a week and now I'm on my 4th day at 40mg. Today is my second day with adverse side effects...extreme nausea, loss of appetite and diarrhea.  I trust this will pass as it did the first few weeks with lithium.  I have to say that I'm loving the med otherwise. I'm quicker to smile and slower to anger...I nearly feel in control.  Make sure you take with food and expect to be less than 100% for a couple of weeks."
