Hello, today is my 5th day on Latuda. I’ve been on 20mg for 2 days followed by 40mg for 3 days. So far , no difference at all , just some sedation at night. I’m taking it with a 350 cal meal as required.

My hopes are beginning to slowly diminish. I had high expectations going into this medication and reading people’s experiences how they notice a day and night difference in less than a week or so .

Currently taking in conjunction to Effexor 225mg , Lamotrigine 100mg.

Hoping to get relief from depression , anhedonia , anxiety and depersonalization/derealization.

Diagnosis: lifelong OCD + Bipolar

What exactly should I expect with this medication ? Is it really a light switch / day and night feeling after all? Or is it gradual ?

Thanks for reading.
