| 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.

Now I can't seem to lose the weight. helped me feel better, but weight gain++ and have developed type 2 diabeties. For me, this med was a disaster. It was prescribed for me initially by a pill pushing shrink who made a snap judgement that I was bipolar II after my wife filed for divorce and I asked for help. I had been on and off anti-depressants for years, usually after failed relationships. It made things worse, not better, and I ended up in and out of the psych ward six times over the next three years, a ... | |||
