"i&#039;ve only been on latuda 2 weeks (20 mg) so i&#039;m rating this medication based on short-term use. 

it&#039;s been wonderful so far. i&#039;ve been on lamictal + neurontin for the past year and a half, and i was rapidly cycling instead of feeling genuinely stable or good. 

latuda has really stabilized me. i feel &quot;good&quot; every day, if not really good/great. i have energy, but not manic/frenzied/restless. &quot;good mood&quot; for me always carried the additional symptom of manic/tormenting agitation. 

i was afraid to take an antipsychotic because of the fear of weight gain. however, i have had no weight gain so far on latuda. my appetite has been the same. 

i am also sleeping well. latuda helps me fall asleep. no major side effects."
