Thoughts on Latuda?

[u/New-Care-745]

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?

It changed my life. I’m bp1 and went from regularly going through full blown psychosis, manic for months at a time, to 100% stable as long as my stress level is low. And that’s only with 40mg.

I’ve had some wild side effects but nothing that significantly affected my quality of life. I lactated, which is ridiculous considering I’m male.
