"i have been on latuda for a little over a year now. it&#039;s been extremely helpful for both mania and depression. i had psychotic mixed episodes, which lithium did not help. on latuda, i feel stable and like myself. however, i have &quot;mild&quot; akathisia, meaning i don&#039;t twitch, but i feel horrible if i take it during the day. i take it at night before bed with lorazepam as needed, (i am probably going to switch to a more regular sleep med soon) and that pretty much solved the problem. the only issue is that it is expensive, but thankfully i have insurance that covers it after my deductible."
