urania Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Hi folks, second post on Latuda. I've now been on it 7 days and have some side effects to report. * General feeling of being pissed off. I haven't blown up at any one, but I am just generally mad at everyone about everything. * Increased appetite. * Constipation (I'll take this, as I have serious IBS and maybe over time these two will even out). * This one is crazy: my breasts are SO sore. I checked the paperwork the dr. gave me and this is a legitimate side effect. I had a hysterectomy 9 years ago, so it isn't hormones. But I mean, mad sore. So even though I am pissed off, I actually feel less depressed. My energy level, focus, and productivity are increasing. I guess this is a good reminder that these are powerful drugs, and we have to just wait out the adjustment period. I actually took one dose of Latuda and then quit, then waited about a week and started up again. I committed to giving it at least 6 weeks. take care all, Urania Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexFlex Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Do you take yours at night? I had none of those side effects you described. Mine was a down and out feeling that seemed to last for 6 hours, other than that I thought Latuda worked great LWD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urania Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 LexFlex, yes I take it at night. I expect these side effects to fade, but I *always* get side effects, starting and stopping, any medicine. I don't know why but my body seems to be really sensitive. It is encouraging to hear it worked great for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
