lurasidone hydrochloride as enantiospcefic isomer —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.225.147.89 (talk) 16:16, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That's not very specific. Which one? David Spector (talk) 22:47, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

negative symptoms

The history of nearly every atypical antipsychotic that is introduced dictates that at the introduction of the new atypical, claims are initially made to suggest the drug treats negative symptoms of schizophrenia. Only later is it realized that this is not the case, and subsequent studies rule this not to be so. Case in point: Abilify. Everyone thought that would treat negative symptoms, and it hasn't.

I'm trying to remain open-minded, however, and if someone can provide clinical trials demonstrating signifigant changes in, say, negative symptoms on the PAANS scale, then please note this in the message body of your edit, along with the citation-- which should link directly to the section in which negative symptoms are reduced. However, the clinical trials I've read demonstrate no efficacy of lurasidone for negative symptoms. The only drug presently in research for negative symptoms of much promise, it seems-- glycine-like agents aside- is Shire's Vyvanse, which is in Phase II trials for cogntive dysfunction and negative symptoms in negative symptom predominant schizophrenia.Fair objective (talk) 19:33, 1 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawal Symptoms

Until we can get a reliable source for specific withdrawal symptoms of this drug, I might just go ahead and delete this section. Feel free to revert if I'm wrong.

Proposed Side Effects to be added to Article

Not directed to improving article. Collapsed.--Garrondo (talk) 06:55, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Content not directed to improving the article

Posted here to arrive at consensus. I was given this medication when I was not eating the food in the facility because I have very strict way of eating and only eat whole foods and no processed food, no cheese, no cooked fruit or sweets etc... and only drink my home made distilled water. Well this drug made me eat cakes, cookies, donuts, chips etc... and drink beer and soda pop. It also gave me vivid disturbing dreams and took away all interest I had in my computer activities. It also made me belch like a Bull Frog for a long time that even persisted even after going off the medication. That is what Latuda did to me. 2602:306:C518:6C40:F02A:330C:11CC:ACDB (talk) 14:10, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, a single report of side effects in a drug which might be taken by thousands of patients with no ill effects is not usually considered significant in evidence-based medicine. However, it is reasonable to have this report available so that those taking the medicine can consider it when making consumer choices. David Spector (talk) 22:55, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Synthesis - biocide Benzisothiazolinone appears in Latuda

This drug appears to have this chemical as part of its molecular structure. 2602:306:C518:6C40:F02A:330C:11CC:ACDB (talk) 15:24, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Someone needs to add a section to this article on how this drug is synthesized. 2602:306:C518:6C40:F02A:330C:11CC:ACDB (talk) 15:24, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
