Hi this is Serenity,

I am dx with bipolar, borderline personality disorder, PTSD, and anxiety/depression. I'm taking a variety of meds and recently switched from abilify to latuda. I also take lamictal, trazodone, klonopin, campral, hydrozyzine, and zyprexa among other meds. Anyway, I started out at 20mg of latuda, then raised to 60mg, 80mg, 100mg, and this week to the max of 120mg. I didn't experience any side effects at 100mg but at 120mg I am experiencing severe dizziness. I was wondering if anyone has experienced this and if so, did it go away with time?

Sincerely,
Serenity

I had issues at 120 also. I bumped from 60, to 80, to 120. Once I hit 120 I got real jittery and couldn't sleep. I bumped back down to 80 and I am fine there. Not the same symptom as you, but I had problems at the same dosage, so I wonder if that's just a LOT of medicine. Good luck figuring it out!

Hi Serenity,

I never used this med, but I hope the side effects will eventually go away and you will feel better.
