In reply to med poop out- where to go next (Latuda?), posted by bp peanut on January 27, 2016, at 21:18:32
Hi BP Peanut.
How are you doing?
Have you found any of the feedback from others helpful?
I tried Latuda (lurasidone) in combination with Parnate and nortriptyline. It exacerbated my bipolar depression, but I think I understand why. One of its actions is to block NE alpha-2a receptors - much like Remeron (mirtazapine). I always react badly to drugs that do this. Remeron itself is used quite often for sleep with great success. Still, I would be reluctant to recommend Remeron because I don't know how the NE alpha-2a blockade would interact with a MAOI. It might be too noradrenergic. The combination is contraindicated by the manufacturer.
