"before latuda, i had become scared. thought everyone was lying to me. i had become violent, screaming, crying for long periods, sitting in the dark for hours, staying home. i started on 40mg daily. i noticed within 2 days i was thinking clearer and feeling less anxious. i was still having &quot;meltdowns&quot; about every three days, so we went to 80mg six weeks ago. i have been much happier, more productive and sleeping better. i take it at night. the worst side effect i had was swelling around my ankles. but that went away. i&#039;m losing weight. no longer eat in my sleep. it hasn&#039;t fixed all, but it has me on the right track to trying to get well. before latuda, i didn&#039;t care about getting well. i hope and pray it keeps working."
