Could Aggravating Depression Along With Anxiety Be Due To Latuda?

My husband is taking Latuda. Started with 20mg two months ago, but depressive symptoms worsening. Is also on Buspar, Citolopram, and Lorazepam. Husband was feeling supercharged so doctor thinking may be bipolar so added the Latuda 2 months ago. Bumped it to 40 mg a week ago because of worsening depression mixed with anxiety. I we are concerned Latuda may be making things worse, not better. He is now unable to work so sits at home all day sleeping or staring. I didn t realize you have to pay. No thank you.

Hello,

* The Latuda contains Luracidone , used for controlling Schizophrenia disorder by many of the expert psychiatrist.

However, it has many more side effects as
- nausea
- bloating abdomen
- dizziness
- excess sleep
- lethargy
- suicidal related thoughts and behavior

* It is best recommended to discuss the dose reduction of Latuda with his treating physician or psychologist for best results.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
