"i have been taking latuda 40mg for nearly 1 month now. diagnosed bipolar ii since i was in my mid forties. i am now 65 years old. so far this medication has been very effective. no depression for 3 weeks. no hypomania so far. seroquel worked fairly well but not as well as latuda. i have lost a few pounds since i started latuda. i have recieved some samples and will purchase this drug from canada due to the outrageous cost here in the usa. my medicare copay is $450.00. in canada i can get a 30 day supply for about $180.00. otherwise i would have to take something else and likely much less effective. latuda is a great medication for me but it is truly incredible and in a way evil that 30 tablets retails for $1200!"
