I do not feel "drugged" like I did when I taking Wellbutrin. I am only required to take one Latuda in the evening, which is very convenient. During the next day, I am usually active and feel generally brighter, and my memory is far better than when I was taking Wellbutrin.

This medicine is amazing... with one down side. Over 20 years I've been a science experiment the way docs switch up meds. Probably around 30 mood stabilizers, antidepressants and antipsychotics total over the years and nothing worked. I love this med but it had a side effect I just couldn't get under control. Warning to others, if you've ever experienced akathesia be ware. This drug builds in your system and about a month in, increasing dose to 40mg even with 40mg a day propranolol, I just couldn't take it anymore. I'm very sad because nothing had made me feel, mentally, this amazing.... but my body, not so much :( the extreme pain and frustration of the side effects drove me mad and I just couldn't do it. Please find something to cure akathesia in new antipsychotics :*(Read More Read Less

This drug relieved my symptoms of the moods associated with Bi-Polar however, it turned me into a zombie and I developed NMS. I have a slow recovery to come back from the damage it has done.

I got extremely mad really quick on this medication. I ended up on a mental ward because of this medication. I was only on this medication for two weeks at best. I would never perscribe this medication to anyone ever!!
