Description:
Lurasidone is an atypical antipsychotic approved for the treatment of schizophrenia. It works by blocking dopamine and serotonin receptors, while also affecting other serotonin subtypes, which can help with both psychotic symptoms and mood regulation. Lurasidone is often chosen because it has a relatively favorable side-effect profile, with less risk of weight gain and metabolic changes compared to some other antipsychotics. Common side effects include sleepiness, restlessness (akathisia), and nausea, and it is recommended to be taken with food to improve absorption.
