Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Pain During Urination And Bleeding While On Latuda?
In the past I had side effects of severe urethral and bladder lesions due to strattera. Extensive testing ruled out possible alternatives and once administration of strattera was discontinued such conditions/symptoms completely abated. For the past seven week I have been taking Latuda and dosage was steadily increased up to 80 mgs two weeks ago. Two days ago I started with similar symptoms of very painful urination and slight periodic bleeding following urination (2-4 drops). Sometimes pain will last up to 15-13 minutes post urination. Are the HCL components of both drugs a likely cause of such symptoms? By the way my psychiatrist has been alerted and has me reducing to 60 mg this evening, tomorrow I see my primary physician to begin urinary work up.

What Causes Pain During Urination And Bleeding While On Latuda?
Hello, I read carefully your query and understand your concern. Latuda does not cause side effects in the urinary system. So,the symptoms seem to be related to a urinary tract infection. I suggest to do an urinalysis an a complete blood count. Meanwhile,I also suggest using to drink liquids and especially cranberry juice. Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again. Kind regards! Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi General &Family Physician
