survivor Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Lurasidone is an atypical antipsychotic for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder by Dainippon Sumitomo Pharma. It is currently in Phase III clinical trials. Very low side effect profile! I read somewhere that the drop out rate was almost the same as with a placebo! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lurasidone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beetle Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 It sounds promising to me but then I don't understand all of this jargon and whatnot. But this guy doesn't seem too impressed. http://chekhovsgun.blogspot.com/2009/09/lurasidone-asenapine-iloperidone.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivor Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 "Key points to remember: 1. This drug is being pushed as safer. So is asenapine and iloperidone. So will any new drug on the horizon. It's marketing. You don't manipulate the identical set of brain receptors and get less side effects. You only get different side effects." ~The MacGuffin It's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
