I've never taken Latuda so I cannot compare it with Loxapine.

Loxapine has a lot of side effects (akathesia, dry mouth, low blood pressure) and is quite sedating. It is best to take it in the evening. I took it for a year and found it helped, but it wasn't motivating like Zyprexa. The side effects gradually lessen.

The antipsychotic that begins with P is probably perphenazine.

I've noticed sedating medications can cause hallucinations because they appear to put people in stage one sleep even when they are up. These are the hypnagogic variety and shouldn't be confused with psychosis.
