"i&#039;ve only been on latuda 20mg for 2 weeks for bipolar depression. i&#039;m sure my doc will increase my dosage at my next appt this week, but i definitely felt better after a few days at 20mg. not great, but better than i have in a long time. kind of a strange feeling to feel a little better after feeling suicidal and depressed for years. i still take clonazepam for my severe anxiety, but i feel latuda can ease my anxiety and depersonalization more with an increase.

at first, latuda knocked me out and i slept like a baby. i have trouble sleeping, so this was a nice side effect for me.  now, after almost two weeks at 20mg, this side effect has subdided. bummer. so far that&#039;s the only side effect i&#039;ve had. no akathisia for now, thank goodness."
