| Add Invega review I have read comments here and on another site that stated that Invega causes increased appetite. This has been the opposite for me. Invega actually suppresses my appetite. Plus I have very strange dreams. I have tried several other drugs. This one helped me lose weight and have zero side effects. It helps me concentrate and I am happier and more stable. weight gain is only side effect---no insurance buy from Canada online!!! Greatest country in the world -- we cannot take care of our sick ???? Wisconsin guy, I too have bipolar 1. I use to have hallucinations and loose touch with reality. With in three days after taking my frist Invega 12mg+3mgs tablets at one time per day.I knew I was on my journey home. | Add Latuda review Okay so I've been taking Latuda 80mg at night( which I use it for my bipolar ) with Lithium and every so often I get this nauseous feeling but, that's usually when I take it on an empty stomach. Sometimes even when I have food in my stomach I get this weird anxious nauseous feeling...( and to make it even worse I'm extremely afraid of throwing up, so this is torture for me ) Aside from that I've been on it for about 2 months and it has done wonders, i just feel happier ( not in a manic way ) and people around me see a difference. Seems to work well for my paranoia. Have been on other antipsychotics such as zyprexa, loxapine, seroquel etc. weight gain has been an issue for all of them including latuda. Doc switched me to latuda for delusions and Zoloft for OCD 5 months ago. I have since gained 12 pounds which is more than 10percent of my body weight. Quit Zoloft a week ago to see if that was causing my weight gain. Hoping it isn't the latuda that is causing me to gain weight. Time will tell. Latuda also makes me lethargic and emotionally flat. Feel lazy and lacking in energy. Sigh. They've been making antipsychotics for more than 50 years and still they have a list of side effects a mile long. I can't believe it. | |||
