any experience with latuda

so i got a diagnosis finally and some new meds. just started it yesterday. high hopes for this stuff.
i really was surprised it was only 1 pill. about 9 years ago i was on a cocktail of several.

just hoping for some feedback from people who have experience with this medication.

i kind of lost my # yesterday and was lucky enough to get into the clinic straight away. i was there for hours. none of it spent waiting.
so i have a new doc and a new councelor. i like both but i really like the councelor. she was awesome.
i was totally honest about all my feelings and habits. i felt no judgement at all.

i got all the pamphlets. wanted to know if anyone had any experience with it. i got a pretty serious diagnosis yesterday so i was curious.

All I know about that drug is that you shouldn't be drinking grapefruit juice or eating garlic with it because they reduce the detoxing of the drug in the system.

Never took that one, I took anti-epileptics, but nothing exactly like that. Anti-epileptics I cannot tolerate very well for various metabolic reasons.

no side effects so far. the one i am concerned with is some people have a hard time regulating their body temp apparently and i already have a condition that gives me that problem.

the clinician said i may notice little changes in the first couple days but it would take a couple weeks to really get a feel for if it is helping.

it is too hard to say right now.
