I did that for a few months...i'm not going to lie...nothing bad happened...I felt better than ever; I felt motivated, I had more energy, I had better focus and concentration, and best of all, I even began to respond to people in a more "appropriate" way...and I didn't feel like a walking zombie...however, i just agreed to start taking Latuda....my psychiatrist and I compromised...I was on Lithium ER, Seroquel ER and Wellbutrin XL...I told her that I would agree to take ONE med...and it couldn't cause weight gain...and I wanted a new one...so Latuda it was...the ONLY reason I agreed to take it is this...she reminded me that when you have a mental illness, the longer you go without medication, the harder it is to treat when you actually need it. So...try a med change instead. PLEASE. Don't get to the point where nothing is going to help you because you've been non-compliant. It's not worth it.
