| 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. | Add Risperdal review After having a nervous breakdown, I talked to my doctor about options in dealing with anxiety and depression. My doctor prescribed this medication back in 2008. Since then, my entire outlook and personality has changed. My thought process is much clearer, I don't feel nervous or anxious as much, and the medication has made me able to deal a high level of stress. I can honestly say that Risperdal h ... increased sedation, increase in constipation, loss of appetite, loss in interest of things he used to do,increased difficulty in learning and desire to learn and less happy Made me very drowsy, lost interest in previously enjoyable activities 0/10 would not reccomend Varying dosages. Paranoia/hallucinations. Quit cold turkey and still have no feelings, emotions, or empathy but am calm but really delayed thinking and responses and had to give up on Bachelor's degree. It raises your triglyceride levels and causes weight gain. I wouldn't recommend it to people unless you really need it. | |||
