[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 746998, member: 1963"] I have bipolar with severe depression and mixed states being my primary symptoms. I've been on Latuda for about 4 years. It works well on me at 80 mg per day, but an attempt at increasing the dosage sent me manic. It is not advised for patients whose primary sx is mania. In addition, it can cause severely elevated blood lipids, as well as the usual atypical AP side effects. It sounds like Latuda is not the right medication for her at all and that she may benefit more from one of the older (and cheaper) APs that target mania. And yes, Latuda is horribly expensive. The only reason I can get it is that I have VA insurance and access to their medications-by-mail program where I can get 90 days worth of Latuda free of charge. [/QUOTE]
