Latuda (lurasidone) is sometime prescribed for Bipolar disorder as are many other antipsychotics.

In fact, there is recent data that lurasidone may be effective in the treatment of bipolar depression with no weight gain. This data has not yet been reviewed by the FDA.

This data was presented at the 165th Annual APA Meeting in May 2012 by Loebel A. et al.
