Had to increase my dosage

had to increase my dosage of Latuda to 60mg yesterday. Anyone else on this drug?

Thank you for reminding me of the choice to smile and move on. It’s a good peaceful option and I am grateful for that reminder today...because it is an option to me, and I do have the choice...

I’m sorry I can’t help with your question around the medication...

Best wishes 🌺

Glad you like saying, it's actually a Buddhist saying, it's taped to my computer so that it will burn into my brain and be a part of my personality!

I was using Seroquel off label for insomnia: it's another antipsychotic similar to Latuda. My doctor sent me to a psychiatrist who recommended stopping because of the risk of tardive dyskinesia. It's a condition where you make involuntary facial movements; the risk increases the longer your're on the medication and it's usually irreversible. It's something to discuss with whoever's prescribing for you.

I've been reading on that, so far no symptoms, but keeping an eye out for it. Thanks for your insight!

I take Xanax 5 times a day, so I haven't felt this side effect
