"for over a year i experimented with many different medicines for my bipolar depression without success until i started latuda 3 months ago. i started at 20mgs, and am now at 80mgs and will be staying at this dosage. my depression has lifted, it has helped tremendously with my cognition (my brain &#039;fog), and i am an active participant in my own life now. as long as i take it at night with a meal or snack, i don&#039;t experience any side effects. if you take on an empty stomach, it makes you nauseous. the maker of latuda has a patient assistance program as well. overall, it has been a miracle for me!"
