"i recently sought help from a psychiatrist and he prescribed me starter doses of lamictal. he also gave me samples of latuda for if i began to notice myself experiencing an episode. i noticed that i began to have a quick decline in to depression after a hypomanic state and reluctantly began to take the latuda. it is amazing. after only 5 days of use, i already feel so much better.  today  i just noticed that i am not depressed anymore, as i was a few days ago. i am able to take better care of my body (eating better, exercise) because i already am feeling so much better. i get very sleepy and some akathisia, i just take it at night to avoid those side effects."
