LexFlex Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 For everyone out there experiencing Latuda, did you find the initial 40mg to be enough? If it wasn't enough and you increased to 80mg did you find it harder to sleep? Also did it cause you to feel any different than from your previous medication? Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koali777 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 At first, as in the first 2 weeks, I felt it was enough. Worked really well without many side effects. But now, I'm seeing my psychiatrist in a few days, and I'm hoping he will bump me up to 60 mg because my symptoms are now only about 70 percent better. I would assume for myself, it will make me even more tired, since even 20 mg will make me fall asleep. I've heard some get insomnia though. And yes, it made me feel so much different. Less akathisia, not hungry all the time, tired but not snowed, I still have pleasure in things and concentration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexFlex Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 So the first two weeks for you were good. Then you noticed your symptoms start to act up more? Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koali777 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I'm sure it's not that way for everyone. Some people are on just 20 mg. But then some are on 120 mg. Maybe my body just got used to it so it didn't work as well. It's probably my favorite med ever (besides Adderall XR). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexFlex Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 For me it's working well on 40mg. I tried 80mg but could not sleep. Also being on a regular every 3 hour, 2,000 calorie diet I get less cravings on this medication. Thumbs up for Latuda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
