We substituted lurasidone (Latuda) 37 mg for cariprazine (Reagila) 1.5 mg this morning.
Any experiences with lurasidone?
I haven't felt much of it. Possibly some slight excitement or butterflies in the stomach.

my doctor suggested latuda....i know alot of people on latuda they doing great, but i've never taken it. I read it has really good response rates. But that's all i have to say. Zyprexa came out i think in 1996? (could be wrong) but it was marketed heavilty but found excessive sedation with it

>Now taking 74 mg of the lurasidone. I'm inclined to say "no effect" but there seems to be an inkling of something and I can't rule out that it's the drug.

I read some reports from other people; one of them said it knocked him out and another said he got euphoric.
One reason I wanted to try it was that it is approved for bipolar *depression*.

No crystal balls. Latuda is worth a try. There are a lot of reports of success with bipolar depression.

I can't remember from where my positive impressions of lurasodone came from. It wasn't from reading, though.This should keep you busy for awhile. Please let me know what impressions you are left with.
