carlossong Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Hey folks, Latuda is the best so far. I've been taking Latuda 20mg morning, 40mg bedtime for 4 months. I have no problem falling asleep. I sleep from around 10am-2am and wake up every night and can't fall asleep after that. I told my pdoc and he told me to take it at 6pm which I did but it's not working. I keep waking up at 2am every night and cant fall asleep anymore. I see a lot of other ppl have this problem with Latuda. What are u taking to stay asleep? I also take ativan, luvox, effexor, cogentin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearhead Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I was already on Ambien CR 12 mg, and 100 mg of Seroquel IR and 50 mgs of XR at bedtime, and I'm still having trouble staying asleep. So I don't quite know what to tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aelys Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I take Latuda, remeron and doxepin at bedtime and it's been working for me so far. I do wake up sometimes but manage to get back to sleep pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonderful.Cheese Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I don't have this issue with latuda at all. I take lunesta, klonopin, and a drowsy allergy pill at bedtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crtclms Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) I take 4 mg of Zanaflex, but that is also being used as prophylaxis for migraine. The only problem is I get up to go to the bathroom about eleventy-thousand times a night. But I fall back asleep afterwards.

jt07 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I don't take Latuda, but I do take Abilify which is also notorious for causing insomnia. What works for me is a combination of Remeron (mirtazapine) with my carbamazepine (Tegretol) which puts me out very quickly at night and keeps me asleep. I'd be lying if I said that I never wake up during the night, but if I do, I can go right back to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlossong Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 Nice. I took lunesta last night and took my Luvox at night and slept 12 hours. I want to be able to have more energy so I can take 1 class in college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
