VioletMoon Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Hi! I function very in my life, great job, highly educated, lots of friends, etc This in spite of my numerous psychiatric diagnoses. Basically, I vacillate between high anxiety, fear and feeling content and happy. I have had these problems for decades. Right now, I feel very scared because I went up on Latuda from 60 mg to 70 mg. My psychiatrist told me to go up to 80 mg but I am too scared to jump up that high so I decided to ease my way there by taking 70 mg. This is my first night I took the 70 mg and very, very scared not knowing the effect it will have on me. Can anyone reassure me with success taking 80 mg Latuda? I turn to you folks here for help and support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I took 80 mg of Latuda. It didn't cause me any problems that I'm aware of. Actually, as atypical antipsychotics go, it's one of the few I'd consider taking again. I'm not on it any longer because I don't need it right now but if I need an AAP again I'll definitely consider using Latuda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfranco92 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Are you currently experiencing any side effects that you fear that might worsen if you increase your dosage? Otherwise I wouldn't really worry about upping the dosage. Latuda has been very good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen78 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Latuda has been very good to me as well. Im currently on 160mg to deal with psychosis and I have minimal side effects. Why are you scared of the 80mg dose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
