I find Latuda not so much energizing, although I have made it to the gym more than normally, but it
has reduced my depressive symptoms to the point where my affect is less internally focused and more externally focused, which for me is critical. As it is my constant self examination that causes my symptoms of depression to become ruminative and paralyzing, resulting in suicidality.

I would never have thought it would have done anything as MAO's have been the only meds that have worked to some degree for me, although lately MAOS have not worked to the degree they did years ago as monotherapy. Abilify didn't really make a difference at a low dose and the cost was prohititive. I have no idea of the cost of Latuda yet. I have samples from my doc to try out so still in the trial phase.

I'll keep posting for others to see my response. I also am scheuled to receive low flow magnetic stim in the next few weeks so that will be another attempt to normalize my life but I'm seeing a good response with Latuda at the 8 day point.
