Ive heard of it but i thought it had really dangerous side effects with heart and other stuff.

Man ive been psychotic for 10 years straight…maybe its time for me to just accept it and learn to deal with my symptoms instead of relying on meds

Yeah some people do develop heart issues on it but its an extremely effective med for sz. Not everyone gets heart issues on it.

I will have to look into it. I dont want to trade my happiness/motivatuon for life for a symptom free life either.

Not to be insensitive but ive seen alot of peoples lives Castrated by meds…

I don’t understand. You are extra psychotic but you want to stop or reduce your medication? Usually, if you’re extra psychotic you would want to raise your dose. You want to do the opposite of what you should be doing.

Yea I was gonna say what Nick said tbh. If it’s not working the dose may be too low if anything. Hope you and your doc can work it out.

Sorry maybe i said it wrong. Im on the max dose of latuda 160mg. I would like to bring the latuda fown because its not working and its causing alot of side effects. Why endure the side effects if the med isnt working…

Ive seen people who are treatment resistant still find a way to be functional even if the meds dont stop the psychotic symptoms

Bro i. Going through the same delusions and psychotic the same as when i was off of them

Even this site makes me parinoid like none of you guys like me and everyone here wants to hurt me even tho people are super nice. Im tired of being psychotic and im tired of side effects

Maybe the Latuda is working and if you lower the dose you will be even more psychotic?

Bt it increases dopamine which makes you psychotic idk thats just my 2 cents

I guess i really dont know. I feel almost as psychotic as i did when i was off meds. What im really trying to decide is if the side effects are worth the small decrease in symptoms. I know everybody looks at taking meds as the only option but im not sure its helping me much…

I see my pdoc tomorrow i will bring it up but like i said i dont plan on chamging anything right now . I. Honna give the max dose a few more months but if im still just as psychotic..something needs to change. And i. Not getti g on meds that destroy my body or happiness.

Dont get me wrong ..my situation has improved alot over the last year but im not sure that the credit goes to the meds. I feel like my environment i.proved alot when i moved to this new place last year and ive gained insight (maybe through trail and error) into some of the illness. Maybe meds played a roll but i guess im feeli g a little bold and want to take less meds and see what actually happens..

Fair enough bro. Can’t tell you what to do but I’ve never seen it work that way. I’d say increase the meds, get to where the delusions and hallucinations disappear and life is stable then you can slowly decrease the meds with the help of the doctor and new health and lifestyle changes. That’s the only way I’ve ever seen it work.

Less meds may be OK, but no meds would be a mistake.
