Hey all, I’ve been taken off Latuda because the stupid drug company wanted $750.00 for a month supply even with their supposed ‘savings affordability’ card. So obviously I couldn’t take that anymore.
So I got switched to Trilafon, which is a very old anti-psychotic according to my doctor, but has proven the test of time. I’ve been on it for about a month (with a Geodon chaser twice a day) and lately I’ve not been doing well. I saw my doc yesterday and she upped the dose by 6 mgs and told me to watch out for drooling or uncontrollable muscle twitches. I’m nervous.
Has anyone had any experience good or bad with Trilafon?
I was on it for almost a year. It is a mild, typical anti-psychotic, if that’s not a contradiction in terms. It was less debilitating than most anti-psychotics were for me, particularly the typicals.
I take 16 to 20 mg a day along with an antidepressant. I drool at night when I sleep but not to much. My psychiatrist did not want to put me on a higher dose than 20 becaus I might get td or somthing. It helps with my schizophrenic symptoms alot. I sleep about 12 hours a day if I can, I dont feel right if I dont get at least 10 hours a day. I am really groggy when I get up and need coffee to snap out of it.
