"i&#039;ve been diagnosed bipolar ii 3 years ago. my depressed periods were much longer than manic ones. my psychiatrist and i tried many medications without success for bipolar depression. in april, he suggested to try latuda. i was hesitant because we already tried so many medications... but i decided to try. after a week, my depressed symptoms were almost gone. no suicidal thoughts anymore. i was feeling good and was able to determine if my bad feelings were related to my life conditions or to my bipolar condition. i noticed a decreased libido which is my only side effect. this medicine doesn&#039;t reduce my anxiety which is still very high."
