One might as well be talking gibberish, since Latuda does not make any sense. Unless you consider that it makes a lot of cents.<\/p>\n
We recently saw a commercial on TV for Latuda (generic name lurasidone HCL), lauding its use for bipolar depression.<\/p>\n
It’s another psychiatric drug, originally promoted for the symptoms called schizophrenia, and lately for bipolar depression. It’s similar to risperidone or olanzapine, an atypical anti-psychotic drug that alters the levels of serotonin and dopamine in the brain. The chemical class is called “benzisothiazol derivative.”<\/p>\n
It was developed by Sumitomo Dainippan Pharma and marketed in the U.S. by Sunovian Pharmaceuticals.<\/p>\n
The Latuda manufacturer’s website has this to say about it, “It’s not known exactly how Latuda works, and the precise way antipsychotics work is also unknown.”<\/strong><\/p>\n Manufacturer warnings include, “Increased mortality rate in elderly patients … and suicidal thoughts and behaviors.”<\/p>\n 867 other drugs are known to interact with it.<\/p>\n The side effects are similar to all other antipsychotics, and could be increased in intensity if the user drinks grapefruit juice with it.<\/p>\n An average dose is estimated to cost about $5,000 per year.<\/p>\n It was not tested in\u00a0published clinical trials lasting longer than 6 weeks; and\u00a0one of its trials failed to show any improvement at all.<\/p>\n At this point, it is definitely looking more like banana-fana than anything else.\u00a0One might as well eat some bananas instead, it would be a whole lot healthier and likely just as effective.<\/p>\n We’re making fun of the psych drug, not\u00a0the symptoms. People certainly can have mental trauma for which they might need help. We’re just saying, the psych drug is not help; it is, rather, harm.<\/p>\n Psychiatry is a harmful pseudo-science; they know it, they admit it. Don’t swallow it.<\/p>\n Go here for more information.<\/a>\u00a0Find Out!
