Does latuda (lurasidone) block or create more dopamine and serotonin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not exactly,...: Latuda (lurasidone) treats schizophrenia and bipolar depression, but its exact actions inside the brain is unknown. It may work by blocking certain dopamine and serotonin receptors in the brain. That means it prevents dopamine and serotonin from attaching to those receptors, which are locations on brain cells that dopamine and serotonin would attach to if Latuda (lurasidone) molecules were not blocking those locations.
