"i&#039;m 21 years old, and have been diagnosed as major depressive and having generalized anxiety since i was 17. since then i&#039;ve been on three different antidepressants from citalopram to zoloft, and they all had mediocre effects on my depression. it wasn&#039;t until i saw a new psychiatrist and had a new diagnosis of bipolar l that i started to experience genuine relief. i attribute most of my recovery to latuda. in the first weeks of taking this medicine i experienced terrible akathisia (the feeling of tickles or ants in your body) which kept me up at night, but after a few weeks i was told to take it with my trazadone (my sleeping pill) at night and the sensation went away. it was probably only a few weeks when i began to feel normal."
