Latuda (lurasidone) for bipolar : Latuda (lurasidone) is approved for schizophrenia and bipolar depression. Tends not to cause much weight gain or lipid/blood glucose elevation compared to other atypical antipsychotics. Need to take once a day, but make sure take it with at least 300 kal meal, otherwise it wont work.

Latuda (lurasidone): An atypical antipsychotic drug recently approved for treating bipolar disorder. Numerous side-effects make discussion difficult in this limited space. You should discuss with the doctor treating you (hopefully an expert trained in the field of psychiatry). Good luck.
