A member asked:
How does latuda (lurasidone) differ from abilify and are patients getting positive responses with it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generalization: They are in the same class. It is not always that easy to predict how an individual will respond. As a generalization, Latuda (lurasidone) tends to have fewer patients with weight gain or restlessness, and possibly sedation. But there are definitely positive responses from it.
