Candy6544 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 So I just started Latuda and I am an avid user of alcohol and marijuana (its legal in my state) I currently take geodon, lamictal, and lithium but I just added latuda everything seemed like it was actually working great with Latuda but after I used "weed" and alcohol my brain is in bad shape and slowly getting better It really left my mind foggy and inattentative in the morning because of combining the marijuana and alcohol with it. at first it was going great but mixing those things with it really left my mind not all there moral of the story if you take other bipolar/schizophrenia meds alongside Latuda DO NOT do any marijuana as well it'll ruin your brain over time trust me. Other antipsychotics can cause this effect too i hope this helps those who are struggling with substance abuse alongside any of these meds because they can help you greatly but marijuana will fry with your brain with them overtime mixing them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gb84 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 You are correct, alcohol really screws with your head while taking meds. It basically negated any positive effect of the meds when I used to drink regularly. I might have a beer or two, but I never drink heavily like I did when I was younger. Weed just made me paranoid which is the last thing I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
