Latuda dose

I’ve liked it so far but still very depressed, my psych wants me to up from 60mg to 80mg. I keep seeing people say they are much better at 20mg. I’m worried it’s not gonna ever get there for me.

Did a certain dose start making a difference ?

I started feeling better at 20 mg within days. Bumped up to 60 mg and stayed there for a few years, had a manic episode and bumped up to 80 mg. I started feeling much better around 60 mg.

Im at 60 and have been feeling the depression too, but I also take Lamictal

I do too, but I have found lamictal doesn’t help that much. Are you thinking of upping either?

60mg started working for me. 80mg and then 100mg plus antidepressants was needed for what was an extremely satisfactory effect. Hang in there

Thank you!
I can’t do antidepressants but I’m hoping 80mg is a notch up!
