How long were you on a low dose of antipsychotic?

Im only on 40 mg of latuda and i feel much better in terms of motivation. I could probably even work like this but question is how long it will last? Is it possible for me to stay on 40mg for three years or more now that im healing

My pdoc wants me on 5 mg of Abilify for a month, but I’m experiencing absolutely no positive effects, only negative. I may ask to switch. I guess I haven’t been on it all that long though.

It’s great that 40 mg of Latuda is helping so much! As far as I know, there’s no reason to assume you’ll eventually need more. I personally didn’t feel better until I was up to 450 mg Seroquel, and am now on 160 mg Latuda and 300 mg Seroquel. So if you’re lucky enough to feel the effect of 40 mg, I’d suggest staying on it for as long as you can!

I have been on 200-250mg Amisulpride for 3 years, which is the equivarent of 5mg Zyprex. I am stable and free of positive symptoms.

Thanks you guys. Last time I got off meds I was drinking so I’ll stay away from that and stay on the 40 and maybe I’ll be fine.
