I’ve made a decision to stay on Latuda despite the side effect of akathesia. I took my Latuda at 11:30 at night and had akathesia from five thirty till seven thirty. I am all out of options for mood stabilizers and just about out of options for antipsychotics. I’m going to ask my pdoc in two days for the other side effect medicine since the propranolol doesn’t seem to work well. I’ve also made the decision to time it so the side effect happens in the daytime since I get so aimless and lonely at night.

Akathisia is pure hell you should consider a med change
I Used to have it 24/7 on abillify

No I actually gained weight on rexulti
Have it also on abilify, especially the legs and feet. The uneasiness and restlessness is consuming. Can’t sit still but at the same time I am sitting still.
Mine comes and goes. Last night I took my Latuda at nine thirty and woke up at 11:30 and had no akathesia and it’s now six a.m. sometimes it lasts two to four hours but subsides. It can drive you insane.
