This is due to severe negative symptoms. Akathisia comes when negative symptoms is not much and take dopamine agonist ones.
I had akathisia and negative symptoms on Latuda. Now I have no akathisia and slightly more negative symptoms on Risperdal.
May be risperdal is more strong than latuda. Is your negative symptoms better on latuda when compared with risperdal?

Slightly better but I had even less negative symptoms on Abilify.
Then latuda may be a better try than ablify. Latuda have no those hyper issues.
Risperdal is decreasing dopamine levels too much and that is the reason for very severe negative symptoms you are experiencing.

Its not hyper, I wasn’t hyper on Abilify. Addictions without being hyper. I am thinking of going back on Latuda eventhough it causes akathisia, nausea and sometimes vomiting. It was working well until my pdr prescribed Wellbutrin, then I became like now on Risperdal in bed all the time.
Yes I agree on that.
Trying wellbutrin was a big mistake may be it have created added positive symptoms which then required stronger ap dose to stabilize.
Its my fault for complaining to the pdr because I stopped hanging out with my friends on Latuda vs Abilify. At least I was working at my mother’s accounting office.
Yes. There are several drugs which fall under this category so be well aware of it some include supplements too. Wellbutrin, atomoxetine, amantadine, l dopa, macuna, l tyrosine etc.

I need to change my pdr, he gave up and doesn’t want to change my meds anymore.

Yes due to previous history. Anyway latuda is a safe option when compared with ablify and others.
My first choice now is Vraylar followed by Latuda. If Vraylar doesn’t come out by end of January I am taking Latuda. If the pdr refuses I am changing him.

I didn’t get any addictions or hypersexuality from Abilify, but it did give me an uncomfortable edge. They eventually had to take me off it.
