"i&#039;ve been taking latuda for about 3 months now for bipolar ii disorder. at first, i started out at 20 mg, and gradually increased to 80 mg. i was in a deep depression, so even within weeks of taking latuda, i didn&#039;t feel that much better. once my doc switched me to 80 mg, i slowly started climbing out of my depression. it was a slow recovery, but it worked. i am now 80% depression-symptom free and i feel like i&#039;m back to my old self. i am able to function much better at work and life in general. i had restlessness as a side-effect for some time, but it slowly went away. i usually take latuda before bedtime and haven&#039;t experienced any other side effects."
