"i was recently taken off of lithium for bipolar because of my thyroid problems. i am very happy with latuda. it works quickly and makes me feel normal for the most part. i have only had a little irritability, but it quickly subsided.  the main problem i have had with latuda is drowsiness. i take it at night, but am still having a difficult time waking up. i&#039;m going to try taking it earlier, like right after dinner, and see if that helps me wake up earlier. i have to wake up by 6:00 a.m. once school starts again since i am a teacher.  i have been waking up around 10:00 a.m., and don&#039;t think that will work. i recommend trying latuda!"
