Latuda Withdrawal Help: Questions about Latuda Tapering & Latuda Side Effects - Alternative to Meds

[@lindaridleu6564]

I have been taking Latuda for 5 months now and it has changed my life I’m no longer having ups and downs I feel like I can stay on task I am happier not depressed at all , this is the first drug that has worked for me ! I have been on everything and this is the drug that helped me so much I just pray it keeps working

[@TemoteControl]

Don’t you think now that it has fixed what you wanted to that not a discussion of tapering makes sense? Of course you need to ensure all other aspects of your life is worked out… diet, sleep, exercise, mindset… I’m about 7 weeks in and I don’t understand why I shouldn’t consider tapering before it gets to long-term dependence.

Unfortunately didn't work for me

The knowledge of the existence of a path for healthful withdrawal is such good news that it lets you dream!

My Chloresterol is through the roof with Latuda. I exercise and watch my diet like a hawk ! I told my Doctor its time to get rid of this terrible drug. I do feel like the walking dead. Thank you for publishing this Video . Wish me luck with my withdrawal !

I notice if I eat too much, I feel terrible for days. I have to eat just a little and then not eat again for 12 hours.

[@nativechique7589]

From 80 to 60 and im crying n irritable, screaming at my kids some. Ima go up to 70 tonight. This sux so bad.

[@AkathisiaWarrior]

No honey no. Jesus. I can only imagine. You’re having Akathisia too. Your doctor isn’t treating you correctly.

[@nativechique7589]

@@AkathisiaWarrior i been having akathisia for a few years now. I was on effexor for 17 years and during that 2 year taper i developed aka either due to coming off the effexor or starting latuda. Either way now im on geodon while getting off latuda and stull have it. Every drug thats introduced to me now causes it so far. Im sooo thankful for propranylol. Its a lifesaver aka is sooo hard. I found if i taper by 10mg (latuda) i do better than 20mg increments. My new dr wants me going faster but im going safely. This new dr says theres no withdrawls from these meds 😂 n as long as he gives me time ill stick w him regardless of his belief

[@louBee94]

When you say the tapering off should be slow, how long should that be if someone like myself has been on Latuda for around 3 months? I was told a couple of days but now after watching this video, I'm a little uneasy amd worried about potential side effects especially because I've been taking an antidepressant recently too.

[@AkathisiaWarrior]

A couple of days???? No honey. You’re gonna to hurt yourself.

[@TemoteControl]

Hey how’d it go?

[@cynthiablanchard6278]

Dr put me on latuda for bipolar deppression

[@nativechique7589]

Same. I had to get off effexor now wecr starting my latuda taper . I am a writer who can't write on this drug or feel excited

[@nativechique7589]

I hadctried coming off this med last year according to my comment! Wow. Trying again but w vraylar added to my meds.

[@filthycoffinfrankenstein6469]

Do you have a vraylar method of stabilizing a person withdrawing from it?

[@nativechique7589]

I just got put on 1.5 of vraylar. Now my dr wants me to go from 80 to 60 of latuda. Did u do the same? Whats the vraylar method?

[@AkathisiaWarrior]

No.

[@AkathisiaWarrior]

@@nativechique7589honey she’s harmed. You’re not tapering correctly.

[@nativechique7589]

@@AkathisiaWarrior i got off vraylar due to adhedonia. I did make it to 60 of latuda while on vraylar. Currently at 40mg of latuda and on geodon. I dont like geodon either. My head is actually able to orgamize thoughts n focus a lil again. Its been rough but i can actually do a few things again. Cant wait to be off latuda

[@nativechique7589]

Im trying to go from 80 to 60, now that um on 1.5 of vraylar, however, i get irritable. I did 2 days of 60. Then 80. I wish there was a way to subtract 10mg. So im looking thru comments to find a way to do that! Vraylar and latuda makes me numb, no feelings. When i took the 60mg i could feel my spirit again. Lil streams of inspiratiin were breaking thru. My body felt inner restlessness tho. But i figured thays part of my body adjusting? I had to go back up to 80 last night cuz i was getting irritable w my son. I didnt want to spuril. . So i wonder if i can do 80, 60, 80... Any advice from latuda taperers out there would be great!

[@AkathisiaWarrior]

Too fast. You need to cut every 4-6 weeks. 10% cuts. I did 80mg and cut 20mg every month and was told to stop at 20mg. It’s hell. My doctor didn’t know what he was doing. They do not taper properly.

[@AkathisiaWarrior]

Inner restlessness = Akathisia

[@nativechique7589]

@@AkathisiaWarrior see im at 40 now n this dr is impatient. Ive come further than i thought i would this fast. Because effexor took 2 years and was super hard to get off of i really get scared of other meds.

[@dreamznaspiratons7064]

god bless u guys

[@cynthiablanchard6278]

Same with prozac! No passion in bed

[@AkathisiaWarrior]

Yeah it’s hell to come off. But what on earth, you’re advertising coming off in a detox setting. This is really dangerous.

[@AkathisiaWarrior]

Oh Lord this guy isn’t making much sense. This drug is known for AKATHISIA and withdrawals are HELL!!
