Life with Schizophrenia E14: Switching Antipsychotics (Week 2)

So the TL;DR I tried switching from Seroquel 600mg XR to Abilify 20mg with no success. Abilify did not work for me and now I am getting stable back on Seroquel. I will reevaluate with my pdoc in 1 month and decide to try Latuda or not.

If you have any experience with Latuda please feel free to share.

Thanks for your support,
Ethan Thomas

latuda gave me uncontrollable sugar cravings, I gained a big bunch of weight when I was on it. You look thin though so maybe that won’t be a struggle for you. Good luck, I hope you feel better.

As always @Vertigo thank you. I appreciate you saying that.

@tera Seroquel gives me the munchies big time, I may look average but I’ve gained 20 pounds on seroquel. Sorry to hear about Latuda These dang antipsychotics all have their pluses and minuses. I’m not sold on any until I give them a fair trial, I definitely learned that. Good luck to you as well and thanks.
