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.
