My nephew is schizophrenic. He has taken a number of drugs without much success. He did best on clozaril, but had to stop because of blood issues.
He is now on 40mg latuda and 16mg perphenizine. When I saw him yesterday at Thanksgiving, I was shocked. He has gained a ton of weight, his face is terribly bloated and his eyes have this dull look. He just didn't seem his usual sweet self. I know that he has serious problems. He has been in and out of hospitals constantly. He sometimes loses insight into his condition. I addition, he has had two severe traumatic brain injuries and has mild cognitive impairment.
Is latuda knows for this level of weight gain?
