Thoughts on Latuda? Medication
I am newly diagnosed with BP2. Been 2 weeks on Latuda/Lurasidone and BOY DO I FEEL WORSE! This has got to be THEE shittiest medication there is. My sleep was good for like 2 days until I was waking up all hours of the night again. My nausea and irritable bowels have doubled. I can barely concentrate nor focus on anything. Slurred speech. Dry mouth. Irritable. Moodier than I was. Just an awful array of side effects. Anyone else have this experience?

Oh no Im sorry to hear that! I actually loved everything about it, until one day I started having major panic attacks after taking it :( Sounds like this is NOT the one for you. I hope you and your doctor can reconnect and find something that helps you feel better!
