I have been taking Latuda now for 4 days and no symptom relief, how long until it starts working?

You really should be talking to your phychiatrist about this

Every person reacts differently to every medication and since there are no tests that can confirm what medication will work best it is, indeed, a matter of trial and error to find the right medication or combination of meds.
Some people may experience some improvement sooner, but for many it may take several weeks for the drug to reach therapeutic levels. Some may find that a med that works wonders for others does nothing for them and a drug that others downplay works wonders for them
Patience! It's worth the effort to have a healthy, happy, and productive life ~ better than living with your symptoms no matter how long it takes.

i just noticed your post is from 2012, are you still using Latuda? i started it a week ago (20mg) , and makes me feel dizzy and drowsy, im using it for Bi-polar disorder,anxiety and depression, dr told me would take few weeks to work, will see what happens, im tired of being a guinea pig for these types of medications..

How long does it take until LATUDA to to affect

I'm not one to write online reviews but I found so much information from other people online after my bipolar diagnosis that I feel it's only fair that I offer my insight now to others. In a very short time Latuda has proven to be a miracle
Drug for me. My anger is gone, the obsessive and delusional thoughts that keep me awake at night have all but vanished. I sleep better. Overall I just feel like a giant weight has been lifted off my shoulders. My wife says she can see it in my face. I look calm not crazy as she puts it. The only downside to this medication has been the battle with my insurance company to pay for it. It's outrageously expensive. I am on 60mg and a months supply retails
For around $1300! If it continues to be a struggle with my insurance company I have found a Canadian Pharmacy that will ship a months supply for $170. Its sad that Canadians are guaranteed health insurance and affordable meds where here in the US insurance is a luxury and drug companies can charge whatever they want.

My daughter started taking this medication three days ago and immediately changed her mood. She is calmer (still not able to function "normal"), I do not know if the hallucinations decreased because she does not say anything (she is now 19 years old, suffering since she was 10 years old). One problem is that she could not sleep for 2 days (at all - not even signs of sleepiness), so we reduced it to half a pill (10mg) and it seems that still worked, not sure yet. This medication had its effects right away as I observed that took away the effects of a potent sleeping pill (usually effective within one hour) for 4 hours. After four hours, she was able to sleep due to the sleeping pill. In my experience, if it does not work in the beginning, it is unlikely that will help you even with an increase in dosage (higher dosage can duplicate the likelihood of secondary effects).

I have been taking 40mg now for 6 days. I feel amazing. But I also take mine for bipolar and meds affect everyone different.

I have been taking my Latuda for 8 days now and still no results, good or bad. I also wonder how long it takes. I read all the rave about this med and nothing. I took 20 for first couple of days and am now on 40. Wondering if I need to be taking 80mg

It did take me a couple of weeks to really feel the results. I started taking it in November 2011. It helps with social anxiety and keeps the voices and other hallucinations away. I am not sleeping well but am trying to regulate that with Trazodone (50-150mg as needed.) Wouldn't it be nice to just chuck all the medications and still be able to feel good? Unfortunately, doens't look like that's going to happen.

I am gettting ready to start Latuda this week or first of next week. What I have obtained from my psych and the package insert is that you might not see results for up to 2 weeks. I always give my antipyschotics 5-7 days to make an impact if nothing i call my psych and at least let them know. I work hand in hand with mine making decisions. I hope that answers your question to some extent. Hope it starts working.
