I'm so glad you responded, Scott..
> I'm sure you know that Latuda is closely related to Geodon.I knew it was in the same class, but that's about it. :-)
> It is an interesting choice.Can you elaborate? What are your thoughts?
> Just be sure to take Latuda with food as you did with Geodon.What happens if it's not taken with food?
Does it need to be a full meal?
> Latuda is probably less activating than Geodon.
I'm not sure what 'less activating' means? Please tell me more. Also - I think I saw your having been on it - what were your experiences? I know you've had a great deal of trouble finding something that will sustain abatement of your symptoms, but did you have troublesome side effects with it? You tend to be very astute at sensing subtleties in how medications affect you.. so what did you notice about its effect on you? And also, did you experience Latuda as likely to provoke weight gain? My daughter was on Abilify for just a couple of weeks, and her appetite went from being like a bird, to being outrageously voracious.
Again, I really value your input.
