Ohhhh.
OK that’s interesting
I remember there was a guy who swore by latuda on this forum.
How come you came off it

I had akathisia on it couldnt sleep and was acting weird on it, stopped talking to all my friends. Had nightmares. Sometimes my mind would freeze. But i was able to work in accounting for about a year on it, full time most of the time.

Yes it happened for a few hrs after taking it at night but not during the day. I also had to eat 350 cal with it. It also gave me nausea sometimes I threw up. My pdoc prescribed me benztropine for akathisia but it did not help. I was scared the akathisia would be permanent but it went away on risp
