A member asked:
Which is better for bi polar seroquel or latuda (lurasidone)?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It depends: It depends on what's happening with you at the current time. Both seroquel and Latuda (lurasidone) are good antipsychotics, but seroquel has the official fda indication as monotherapy for bipolar mania. Latuda (lurasidone) does not have this, but does have official fda indication as monotherapy for bipolar depression (seroquel has this also). Please talk with your psychiatrist about your specific case.
