XP - Latuda (lurasidone HCI tablets)

Does anyone have any experience with this drug? The last two anti-psychotics I've tried have put weight on me like crazy. I went to the psych yesterday ready to give up - I just can not deal with gaining the weight. It makes me crazier than going with out meds. He told me about Latuda and supposedly it is weight neutral with none of the study subjects gaining weight over a year and some actually losing. I gained over 20lbs on the Seroquel just in the first month! And I can only take certain drugs that don't alter the Qtc interval of the heart - I've been fortunate enough to live through two episodes of Ventrical Tachycardia secondary to psych meds and I won't make it through a third so that eliminates some meds that used to work for me like Geodon.

Anyway, I would appreciate any experiences you may have had. I take it for self-harm, so it's not like I'm a raving psychopath when I don't take meds - I just do dumb and dangerous stuff.

Oh, and a quick fyi, I am posting this on the Rny Board as well.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts you may have.
