Is anyone else on this?
I’m so restless i can’t stay still for more than seconds at a time.
Any advice? anything that helps? I’m not able to talk to the pdoc until tomorrow and another day of this is going to be awful.

I took that drug @ 111mg per evening for 18 months, and within an hour of taking it I was debilitated by restlessness to put it lightly.
The pharmacist recommended a Beta-Blocker, but a consultant stepped in and said no and took me off them straight away and put me on Haldol…
I still have it mildly, but I take a drug called Procyclidine that hides it all away to a point.
Anyway, Latuda was a great drug for me, but it turned against me in the end 
Hope this helps

I had that on Abilify, horrible. Because the drug didn’t help the psychotic symptoms either, I stopped it and was switched back to Haldol.

no side effects with haldol?
or just more tolerable ones?
Yes, emotional blunting, cognitive damage and tiredness, which I hate, but is much less pronounced in my current baby dose (1mg). With Haldol I know what I’ve got and it feels more…“clean”?? The newer meds I tried (Abilify, Zyprexa) caused the same side effects, but also a much wider range of extra side effects and withdrawals in me. I don’t like Haldol, but Abilify and Zyprexa were so bad it was not an option to continue… e.g. on the Abilify I was so psychotic and restless that I needed to stay locked up.
So, Haldol it is.

I think any med like abilify, latuda, haldol, or vraylar will cause some anxiety/restlessness. Only med that didn’t for me was Risperdone. I think invega even caused restlessness (yes, I tried that med too). Any med that helps with negatives or gives you energy probably will make you feel restless. I’ve taken a lot of different medications to help ease and stop the restlessness (too many to name), but I’m currently on propranolol.

I take latuda 80mg at night with trazodone and cogentin. I don’t feel restless on latuda but I do with haldol.
