"i&#039;ve been taking latuda for over a year now for bipolar 2.  it seemed to work well for a few months at 40mg, then stopped working.  upped dose to 60, worked for a few months.  increased again to 80, now ineffective.  now i&#039;m on lamotrigine concurrently - if that helps i will stop taking latuda.

side effects have been very bad.  never had a panic attack in my life until i took latuda, now i&#039;ve had several.  nausea every time i take it.  supposedly this medicine is &quot;weight-neutral&quot;, but i gained at least 30 pounds over the past year and a half (i didn&#039;t change my diet or exercise habits from before taking it).  now i am eating better and working out, but i doubt if i can lose the weight until i&#039;m off latuda.  hope to get off it soon!"
