"started with a month on 40mg and am now increased to 80mg. happy that it&#039;s not making me too sleepy, actually waking around 5am, well before my alarm. have lost some weight so happy with that. still on the manic side so i asked for the increase and had my husband change my amazon password so i can&#039;t continue a spending spree. some muscle soreness, not sure if that&#039;s the latuda. and feeling like i over heat easily. overall the side effects are tolerable and some of them welcomed. it&#039;s the first mood stabilizer that i haven&#039;t had horrible side effects with. i actually feel like it&#039;s helping me function better."
