I took Benzatropine for Latuda’s akathisia but ended up switching to Risperdal as I had positive symptoms. No more akathisia on 4mg Risperdal.

Invega is similar to Risperdal, both raise prolactine. Try Geodon, I heard good stuff on it. Personally I want to switch to Geodon or Vraylar but Vraylar isn’t available in my country. I tried 5 antipsychotics so far.

I have tried 6 too.

My current one I have been on for the longest without bad side effects barr prolactin, but it’s starting to become less effective now.

The restlessness can be easily treated if you speak with your pdoc about it.

There may be another med they can add, or you could switch again - but that’s a massive pain sometimes.

Yes I know but I dont like being on invega sustenna

Yes, it is an antipsychotic.

For temporary relief Put on some liniment or zinc, iron supplement.
