Latuda (lurasidone). do you know how long for an increase from 40mg to 60mg to take effect. will the jitteryness eventually go away. i know its a newer med.

Latuda (lurasidone) side effects: Side effects always precede the actual medication's positive effects. That being said you should begin to find out if this medication and the subsequent increase of the dosage has been beneficial within 2 to 3 weeks. The maximum recommended dose of Latuda (lurasidone) is 80 mg per day. My question is for what condition are you being prescribed this medication?

Latuda (lurasidone): should not change in 2 to 3 weeks (or so). Ask your DR if your jitteriness is Akathisia. Akathisia is dose-related with Latuda. Sometimes medications like Cogentin, Artane, low-dose mirtazapine, cryproheptadine, Propranolol or benadryl are used if there is akathisia. Jitteriness may or may not resolve on it's own.
