"dr. decided to try latuda. the side effects completely outweighed the benefits for me. for a while i was able to tolerate the headaches and nausea, and enjoyed the mood improvement. i was actually able to feel true happiness in happy situations. but it also affected my menstrual cycle to where i was experiencing a full week of cramps (not normal for me) and was 2 weeks late (also not normal for me). then the nausea just became vomiting every time i took the pill. so i stopped it. i really wished it would work because i liked the happiness i experienced and no mania."
