Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
I'm on this new medication Latuda. It's a pretty new medication, but I don't know if anyone else who is taking this is experiencing my symptoms. I've been so depressed to the point of feeling suicidal. I've been having to isolate myself from everyone. I lost my sex drive and have been gaining weight like crazy. Anyone else experience this? If so, does it go away?

Mom and I have errands to run this morning. She said we can get sushi for lunch though. I go back to work today. What are you looking forward to this weekend?

Quick, before the evil MONday gets here! Let's climb those mountains, dance in the meadows, dip our feet in the ocean....Okay, so most of us won't be doing any of That. Sadly. But today can still be a great day!The area behind our back fence is on an incline, with less than two feet on even ground at the top. I don't balance well enough for the incline, but our mower guy mows that...
I could NOT take Latuda. took it for six or seven weeks. i was put on the lowest dosage and felt pretty awesome for the first few weeks but started to feel a bit hypomanic. We went up to the next dosage after one month as i was still trying to get off seroquel and i don't think the two mix so well together and had one really bad night of a bad reaction and had to stop Latuda immediately.
The sudden stop of it made me very depressive and i went back on seroquel and have finally started to feel a bit better.
we're all different though and I've heard some people just love Latuda.
best wishes to you...
