Never heard of it but been put on it from today. Htt brought it over.

Has anyone been on it, was it helpful?

Fingers and toes are crossed.

How was weight management? She said it was good for not making weight gain.

In bipolar it is used for depressive episodes. It's not as effective for mania.
I have never taken it but have friends who have and it seems to have a low side effect profile very similar to abilify.

Yeah I think I'm depressed. I'm not 100% sure but I think I am.

Ewww, this stuff just made me throw up everywhere,

and now i'm dribbling bc theres so much saliva coming out my mouth - i feel sorry for myself right now :(

Sorry to hear of your upset stomach. Not sure if you are still looking for experiences or not. For me, Latuda has been the only antipsychotic I could tolerate. No weight gain like Seroquel, none of Abilify's extreme anxiety. Hope you feel better soon.

Yeah I would still like to know how it goes for people.

I feel it has lifted my mood - well made me more motivated to be productive in some way anyway, which is a good thing.

The nausea is getting to me but i think bc i can't eat with it bc HTT come whenever and I can't prep dinner for when they come because it is a 3 hour window, and I have to take it in front of them. I will talk about that with the DR tomorrow though, because when I've had it near food it has been better tolerated.

the weight gain and metabolism effects are why I've come off seroquel, and why I am trying this one now.

I have stopped dribbling SO much, but I have dribbled a lot which is unpleasant.

I hope it works though. I really do.

I've been on it for a little more than a week now. The nausea was horrible at first and I hardly ate anything. Yesterday and today have been better, so maybe it's just bad in the beginning? I feel amazing other than that though.

Arienette · 08-09-2015, 04:56 PM

they upped my dose to the blue one but didn't let me see the packet, how much is that?

i feel clearer in my mind, and to me my mood seems better and I'm more motivated, but apparently I'm still depressed and not think ing straight. I dunno.

i have to go into hospital until it works, so *fingers crossed*

Vomited again. It's disgusting.

Arienette · 09-09-2015, 04:22 AM

I had it with food last night. Granted the vomit wasn't AS severe and enduring but it was half my dinner. I'm gonna ask for it with food whilst ip.
